Will climate change promote future invasions? (2013, background): “Climate changes, including extreme climatic events (i.e., flood, fires), can enhance invasion processes, from initial introduction through establishment and spread (Walther et al., 2009; Diez et al., 2012), and consequently have a profound influence on the environment.”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Besides overall change in temperature and precipitation, extreme climatic events can also help spread non-native species by overcoming dispersal barriers (Diez et al. 2012).”
The added complications of climate change: understanding and managing biodiversity and ecosystems (2013, unknown): “Extreme climatic events that stress or kill native species are thought to temporarily increase communities’ susceptibility to invasion (Diez et al. 2012); these events are projected to become more frequent with climate change.”
Biological control and integrated pest management in organic and conventional systems (2020, background): “With globalization and climate change has come an accelerated introduction of exotic pests, often with an absence of viable natural enemies (Perrings et al., 2010; Stoett, 2010; Diez et al., 2012).”
