• Functional differences between native and alien species: a global-scale comparison: Functional differences of native and alien plants (2010, background): “First, several authors have argued that greater phenotypic differ- ence to natives increases the probability of success of an alien (Naeem et al. 2000; Dukes 2001; Lake & Leishman 2004; Hamilton et al. 2005; Pokorny et al. 2005; Lambdon, Lloret & Hulme 2008; Van Kleunen, Weber & Fischer 2010).”
• Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “We know that independent of other factors, NIS most similar to native species compete the most and have the greatest impact on native abundance and diversity (Funk et al. 2008; Li et al. 2015; MacDougall et al. 2009; Pokorny et al. 2005), though this is not”
• Restoration of Themeda australis swards suppresses soil nitrate and enhances ecological resistance to invasion by exotic annuals (2009, background): “…of resources, either through species-packing or through the ‘‘sampling effect’’ whereby more diverse communities are more likely to include a competitively dominant or otherwise high impact species (Tilman 1997; Levine and D’Antonio 1999; Wardle 2001; Fargione and Tilman 2005; Pokorny et al. 2005).”
• Management of invasive plants through ecological resistance (2017, background): “2008) Functional diversity resists invasion via trait complementarity Supportive experiments (Pokorny et al. 2005; Symstad 2000) Functional diversity- ecosystem functions (Tilman et al.”
• Plant functional group identity and diversity determine biotic resistance to invasion by an exotic grass (2013, methodology): “Biotic resistance has a long history in community ecology (Elton 1958; Fox 1987; Levine & D’Antonio 1999; Prieur-Richard et al. 2000; Pokorny et al. 2005; Fridley et al. 2007) and has been well documented, particularly against invasive plants (Davis, Grime & Thompson 2000; Lindig-Cisneros & Zedler…”
• Principles for restoring invasive plant-infested rangeland (2003, background): “Management that lowers the abundance of undesirable and desirable forbs may cause losses in ecological function and ultimately accelerate reinvasion (Pokorny 2002).”
• Variable Impacts of Imazapic Rate on Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum) and Seeded Species in Two Rangeland Communities (2009, background): “…of invasive grasses, ranging from broad spectrum to selective (Currie et al. 1987; Monaco et al. 2005; Whitson and Koch 1998), and control is improved when their use is combined with establishing desirable species (Benz et al. 1999; Pokorny et al. 2005; Sheley et al. 2005; Whitson and Koch 1998).”
