Control of invasive alien weeds averts imminent plant extinction (2011, background): “Invasive alien species constitute a major threat to biodiversity (Mack et al. 2000; Mooney et al. 2005) and there exist many cases of extinction caused by invasive alien animals (Savidge 1987; Blackburn et al. 2004).”
Higher plasticity in ecophysiological traits enhances the performance and invasion success of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) in alpine environments (2011, background): “Invasive species are among the most widely distributed plants (Mooney et al. 2005; Richards et al. 2006).”
A test of baker’s law: breeding systems of invasive species of Asteraceae in China (2011, background): “Biological invasions pose a threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and can have large economic costs (Mooney et al. 2005).”
Predicting Invasion Success: Freshwater Fishes in California as a Model (2006, background): “As much as possible, however, introductions of more alien species should be prevented (Mooney et al. 2005).”
The exotic mammals of Argentina (2008, background): “Disruptive effects on native species, affecting ecological processes, altering natural systems (i.e. nutrient and water cycles), human health and countries economy are examples of this threat (Mooney et al. 2005 and references therein).”
Hull fouling is a risk factor for intercontinental species exchange in aquatic ecosystems (2007, background): “Invasions of non-indigenous species unintentionally introduced during commercial trade are an environmental concern, industrial hazard, and pathway for the spread of infectious diseases (Mooney et al. 2005).”
Alien plant invasions in tropical and sub-tropical savannas: patterns, processes and prospects (2010, background): “Biological invasions are increasing in extent and impact globally, threatening the integrity and functioning of ecosystems (Sala et al. 2000; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005; Mooney et al. 2005), yet little scientific evidence of naturalization and impacts has emanated from African savannas.”
The Economics of Pesticides and Pest Control (2007, background): “Invasions reduce potential crop yield, increase damage control costs, increase fire susceptibility, deplete water supplies, transport disease, disrupt fisheries and grazing land, destroy forests, eliminate species, and alter evolution (Mooney 2005).”
