Assessing the potential range expansion of the exotic monk parakeet in Spain (2006, background): “There is evidence that the chance of establishment success increases markedly with the rate of escapes or propagule pressure (Kolar & Lodge, 2001; Duncan et al., 2003).”
The role of species traits in the establishment success of exotic birds (2009, methodology): “Characteristics that may predispose a species to cope in an exotic location include whether a species has broad or narrow habitat or dietary requirements (e.g., Ehrlich, 1989; Forys & Allen, 1999; Dean, 2000; Duncan et al., 2003), the flexibility of its behaviour (Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Sol et al.”
Worldwide impact of alien parrots (Aves Psittaciformes) on native biodiversity and environment: a review (2014, background): “In this context, a good preliminary approach to address this problem is to focus on the biological traits of alien species/taxonomic families (DUNCAN et al. 2003; BARRIOS-GARCIA & BALLARI 2012).”
The distribution and spread of the invasive alien common myna, Acridotheres tristis L. (Aves: Sturnidae), in southern Africa (2007, background): “The duration of this initial lag period, potentially affected by factors such as propagule size and activity levels of people,38 is expected to vary between regions, as common mynas in Israel took only ‘a few years’ to start rapidly expanding their range.39 Factors affecting common mynas’ success in”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “Generalists with this set of traits are more likely to colonize new environments and have better abilities to find necessary recourses (Duncan et al. 2003).”
A taste for novelty in invading house sparrows, Passer domesticus (2005, background): “Although these studies indicate that the invasion process is at least in part deterministic (Duncan et al., 2003), none identify specific mechanisms by which successful invaders establish and expand their new ranges (Ehrlich, 1989; Mack et al.”
Biotic homogenization and alien bird species along an urban gradient in South Africa (2009, background): “Although studies on alien birds and their impacts on native bird species have received much needed attention in recent years (see e.g., Komdeur, 1996; Blackburn and Duncan, 2001; Duncan et al., 2003; Koenig, 2003; Birdlife International, 2004; Smith, 2005), more research on this topic is needed.”
Climatic Suitability, Life‐History Traits, Introduction Effort, and the Establishment and Spread of Introduced Mammals in Australia (2004, background): “First, where data are available, introduction effort consistently explains significant variation in establishment success for birds and mammals (Case 1996; Veltman et al. 1996; Williamson 1996; Wolf et al. 1998; Duncan et al. 2001; Forsyth & Duncan 2001; Kolar & Lodge 2001; Duncan et al. 2003).”
Animal Translocations: What are they and why do we do them? (2012, neutral): “Settlers from Europe attempted to create a huntable resource of familiar species, or sought to create new populations of exotic songbirds and other species that were well known to them for purely aesthetic reasons (Duncan et al., 2003).”
Exploring species attributes and site characteristics to assess plant invasions in Spain (2009, methodology): “…success in Spain © 2008 The Authors Diversity and Distributions , 15 , 50–58, Journal compilation © 2008 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 51 difficult to eradicate or control; the most effective method to minimize its impact is to prevent establishment or spread in the first place (Duncan et al ., 2003).”
Introduction pathways and establishment rates of invasive aquatic species in Europe (2005, neutral): “Deliberate introduction implies strong selection of particular taxa and donor and recipient regions, and establishment success should be expected to be higher and less dependent on the features of the species or the receiving ecosystem (Duncan et al. 2003).”
Wild-bird trade and exotic invasions: a new link of conservation concern? (2008, background): “In attempts to identify the characteristics of invasive species, birds are among the most studied taxa (Kolar and Lodge 2001; Duncan et al. 2003).”
Influences on the transport and establishment of exotic bird species: an analysis of the parrots (Psittaciformes) of the world (2004, background): “…studies have found that species-specific traits are related to whether introduced birds will establish nonnative populations, and whether they will become invasive (reviewed in Kolar & Lodge, 2001; see also Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Blackburn & Duncan, 2001a; Cassey, 2002; Duncan et al., 2003).”
Increasing southern invasion enhances congruence between endemic and exotic Mediterranean fish fauna (2009, background): “The establishment success of some exotic species has been positively correlated to the similarity between their native and colonized environments (Duncan et al. 2003).”
Propagule pressure: a null model for biological invasions (2006, background): “For example , globally invasive birds tend to belong to just seven families (of $204 worldwide; Clements 2000), including Anatidae (ducks and geese), Phasianidae (pheasants) and taxa commensal with humans (Lockwood 1999; Duncan et al. 2003).”
Establishment success of invasive ring‐necked and monk parakeets in Europe (2009, background): “…may be biased because species are not randomly distributed among introduction locations and because some regions receive disproportionally more invaders, or a larger proportion of better (or poorer) invaders, than other regions (Blackburn & Duncan, 2001a; Duncan et al., 2003; Kark & Sol, 2005).”
