Niche conservatism in non‐native birds in Europe: niche unfilling rather than niche expansion (2013, background): “Fifth, native niche breadth is a predictor of invasion success (Blackburn et al., 2009), and we predict that species with a broader native niche will exhibit higher niche overlap and expansion and less unfilling.”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “…biology, but these six represent a broad cross-section of the discipline (Shea and Chesson 2002; Hierro et al. 2005; Dietz and Edwards 2006; Richardson and Pyšek 2006; Lockwood et al. 2007; Pyšek et al. 2008; Blackburn et al. 2009; Catford et al. 2009; Atwood and Meyerson 2011; Moles et al. 2012).”
Declines in common, widespread native birds in a mature temperate forest. (2010, background): “With the assistance of humans, exotic generalist species have successfully established in many places throughout the world, while many specialist species have been lost (Blackburn et al., 2009; Cagnolo et al., 2009; Masseti, 2009).”
The role of species traits in the establishment success of exotic birds (2009, background): “For example, nearly 80% of exotic bird releases for which data are available have involved numbers that would qualify them as critically endangered according to IUCN criteria (i.e., they had o250 individuals released; Blackburn et al., 2009).”
Founder events predict changes in genetic diversity during human‐mediated range expansions (2011, background): “…introductions provide opportunities to address the impact of founder events on genetic diversity and the consequences thereof for the ability of introduced populations to persist and spread from the point of introduction (Sakai et al., 2001; Lee, 2002; Sax et al., 2004; Blackburn et al., 2009).”
Worldwide impact of alien parrots (Aves Psittaciformes) on native biodiversity and environment: a review (2014, background): “Their breeding success is probably due to their ecological traits – all included among those of the “best bird invader” (CASSEY et al. 2004; BLACKBURN et al. 2009) – propagule pressures (i.e. number of released individuals: LOCKWOOD et al. 2009), multiple releases (CASSEY et al. 2004) and the…”
