Global patterns of mainland and insular pollination networks (2016, background): “Data on the number of habitats per island were not available; however, this has been shown to be highly correlated with island elevation (r = 0.90, P < 0.001, n = 30 island groups) and area (r = 0.42, P < 0.001, n = 30; Kueffer et al., 2010).”
Widespread plant species: natives versus aliens in our changing world (2011, background): “La Sorte et al. 2007; Winter et al. 2010, Kueffer et al. 2010 ).”
Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “Alien species richness is indeed strongly correlated with indices of economic development across oceanic islands (Denslow et al., 2009; Kueffer et al., 2010), possibly in part because anthropogenic habitat alteration is a strong driver of plant invasions (cf.”
The introduced flora of Madagascar (2012, background): “…Table 2) is small when compared to combined lists of wild and cultivated plants in New Zealand (~22,000), Hawaii (~10,000), Reunion (~2000), or Tahiti (>1500), and may be correlated in part to lower levels of economic development (Kueffer et al. 2010; Lavergne et al. 1999; Sax and Gaines 2008).”
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “However, studies indicate that native species richness is not a good predictor of the invasibility of an area by plants (Kueffer et al. 2010; Lonsdale 1999), so it may be some other feature such as the relative newness of the communities on these oceanic islands that have made them more susceptible…”
Quantifying plasticity in vessel grouping – added value from the image analysis tool ROXAS (2013, background): “Verbascum thapsus is considered a problematic invasive species (Kueffer et al. 2010), and it is known to show very high plasticity in aboveground growth patterns in response to environmental variability (Parker et al. 2003; Seipel et al. 2013).”
The tolerance of island plant–pollinator networks to alien plants (2011, background): “Most islands have experienced many introductions since human colonization (Kueffer et al. 2010) and, together with habitat destruction and exploitation, invasive alien species have devastated native island floras and faunas world-wide (Whittaker & Fernández-Palacios 2006).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “…human settlers arrived on remote oceanic islands 2–3 millennia ago, their biotas have undergone three substantial types of anthropogenic modification, namely species extinctions, species introductions (see also Kueffer et al., 2010) and habitat loss, all severely affecting plant–animal mutualisms.”
Greater Focus Needed on Alien Plant Impacts in Protected Areas (2014, background): “Pacific islands are particularly vulnerable to plant invasions (Brockie et al. 1988; Lonsdale 1999; Kueffer et al. 2010) and thus perhaps the greater the threat of alien plants in protected 462 Conservation Letters, September/October 2014, 7(5), 459–466 Copyright and Photocopying: C©2013 Wiley…”
Diversity, biogeography and the global flows of alien amphibians and reptiles (2017, background): “…Taiwan 3 7 10 17 United Kingdom 7 3 10 Space, & Thomas, 2009; Duncan, Blackburn, & Sol, 2003; van Kleunen et al., 2015), with differing levels of invasion being closely related to the extent of human impact on island ecosystems (Blackburn et al., 2016; Denslow et al., 2009; Kueffer et al., 2010).”
A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “[# 34; % = 66.9] Biotic invasions constitute one of the greatest threats to island native biodiversity (e.g. Caujap e-Castells et al., 2010; Kueffer et al., 2010; McCreless et al., 2016).”
Alien flora of mountains: global comparisons for the development of local preventive measures against plant invasions (2011, background): “…was not expected because pre-adaptation of a species in its native range to the climate of the invaded range (climate matching) is often considered an important predictor of problematic invasive plants (e.g. Parker et al., 2003; Pauchard et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2005; Kueffer et al., 2010).”
Conservation in tropical Pacific Island countries: why most current approaches are failing (2012, background): “With rapidly growing human populations and related pressures, the terrestrial biodiversity of the region is among the most threatened in the world (Mittermeier et al. 2004; Kier et al. 2009; Kueffer et al. 2010).”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “As we demonstrated for SIDSs, the number of IASs on islands is directly correlated with island area and human population size (Kueffer et al. 2010, Blackburn et al. 2016).”
Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge (2015, background): “Invasive neobiota (plants, animals, fungi and microbes) constitute one of the greatest threats to island floras and ecosystems (e.g. Cushman, 1995; Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005; Gillespie et al., 2008; Sax and Gaines, 2008; Caujapé-Castells et al., 2010; Küffer et al., 2010; Irl et al., 2014”
