• Introduction history and species characteristics partly explain naturalization success of North American woody species in Europe (2009, background): “Nevertheless, two previous studies that used the same data source for growth rate as we did found that invasiveness of woody species is positively associated with growth rate (Frappier & Eckert 2003; Herron et al. 2007 ).”
• Linking above- and belowground resource use strategies for native and invasive species of temperate deciduous forests (2015, background): “…species that establish widely outside their native range, are often found to grow faster aboveground than co-occurring natives across a wide variety of ecosystems (Liao et al. 2008; van Kleunen et al. 2010; Vilà et al. 2011), including temperate forests (Herron et al. 2007; Fridley 2012).”
• The role of land-use history in major invasions by woody plant species in the northeastern North American landscape (2009, background): “First, woody shrubs and vines are the most widespread and abundant terrestrial invasive plants across southern New England (Herron et al. 2007; Mehrhoff et al. 2003).”
• The global invasion success of Central European plants is related to distribution characteristics in their native range and species traits (2009, methodology): “Several studies recently addressed the role of traits in plant invasions (e.g., Herron et al., 2007; van Kleunen & Johnson, 2007; Gravuer et al., 2008; Küster et al., 2008), but none of those that considered potentially confounding factors codetermining invasiveness, at the same time, (i) used a…”
• Identifying hotspots for plant invasions and forecasting focal points of further spread (2009, background): “Much research on invasive species has focused on species traits that promote invasive species success (e.g. Rejmanek et al. 2005; Herron et al. 2007).”
• Correlates of naturalization and occupancy of introduced ornamentals in Germany. (2008, background): “Recently, the importance of interactions among traits affecting invasiveness has been discussed (Lloret et al., 2005; Herron et al., 2007; Küster et al., 2008).”
• MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions (2020, background): “For plants, several studies have addressed the role of traits in invasions in concert with other factors codetermining invasiveness (e.g. Herron et al. 2007; van Kleunen and Johnson 2007; Gravuer et al. 2008; Küster et al. 2008), but none of them simultaneously: (i) used a global dataset, (ii)…”
• Trait interactions help explain plant invasion success in the German flora (2008, background): “Herron et al. (2007) allowed the slope parameters for traits to vary across growth forms of woody species, when developing a predictive model for woody plant species, and found pronounced differences for some relationships.”
