Incidence and ecology of very fast germination (2012, background): “Species like Halogeton glomeratus (Williams, 1960), Salsola tragus (Wallace et al., 1968) and Schismus arabicus (Brooks, 2000) can behave as highly invasive weeds.”
Neophytes in Austria: Habitat preferences and ecological effects (2005, background): “Although aquatic habitats in warmer climates are heavily invaded by neophytes (e.g. Bossard et al. 2000; Cronk & Fuller 2001), only few neophytes have invaded these habitats in Austria.”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (2010, background): “Journal compilation 2010 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 98, 938–983 between the seedling stage and the onset of perennation, requiring close monitoring of control treatments applied to seedlings (Bayer 2000); bud development can begin on the roots after 19 days (Wilson 1979).”
The Californian urban butterfly fauna is dependent on alien plants (2002, background): “This might be regarded as an unfortunate, and perhaps intolerable, side-effect of such programs.”
Insect Conservation in an Urban Biodiversity Hotspot: The San Francisco Bay Area (2002, background): “vulgare thrives in a variety of habitats (Bossard et al. 2000).”
Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, background): “In California, for example, about 70 plant species are considered as serious invaders (Bossard et al. 2000), corresponding to 1.6% of the state’s flora.”
An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding the Biology of Invasions: Local Adaptation and General‐Purpose Genotypes in the Weed Verbascum thapsus (2003, background): “…bottlenecks in the process of spreading across a landscape; therefore, founder effects and genetic drift may lead to significant differences among populations and little genetic variance within populations ( Brown & Marshall 1981; Barrett & Husband 1990; Wang et al. 1995; Pascual et al. 2001).”
Host range of Tetramesa romana Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a potential biological control of giant reed, Arundo donax L. in North America (2009, background): “Several researchers have documented the invasiveness of A. donax along coastal rivers in south- ern California (Bell, 1997; Dudley, 2000; Dudley and Collins, 1995; Herrera and Dudley, 2003; Quinn and Holt, 2008), and along the Rio Grande in west and southwest Texas (Tracy and DeLoach, 1999).”
Giant reed (Arundo donax L.): A weed plant or a promising energy crop? (2012, background): “The invasiveness reached a dramatic gravity in California (Bell, 1997; Dudley, 2000; Spencer et al., 2005) and in Rio Grande Basin (Seawright et al., 2009; Goolsby and Moran, 2009; Tracy and DeLoach, 1999) where the local institutions are investing a lot of resources in giant reed control (Dudley,…”
Ecology and Impacts of the Large-Statured Invasive Grasses Arundo donax and Phragmites australis in North America (2010, background): “490 N Invasive Plant Science and Management 3, October–December 2010 In North America, A. donax has colonized riparian systems from Maryland to California (Bell 1997; Figure 1) and is considered to have had its greatest impact in southern California (Bell 1997; Dudley and Collins 1995) and along the”
We can eliminate invasions or live with them. Successful management projects (2008, background): “This plant can also be kept at low density with herbicides (Aptekar 2000).”
Exotics as host plants of the California butterfly fauna (2003, background): “As the population of California grows and development of natural areas continues at a rapid pace, more and more introduced plant taxa will invade the habitats of California’s butterflies (Bossard et al., 2000).”
The biogeography of invasive alien plants in California: an application of GIS and spatial regression analysis (2004, background): “Other studies have shown that coastal regions dominated by coastal sage scrub and some desert regions have been impacted to an intermediate extent by invasive alien plants (Rejmánek & Randall, 1994; Dallman, 1998; Bossard et al ., 2000).”
