The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “…as small as 1 m2 in systems as diverse as California chaparral, savannas, and conifer forests (Keeley et al. 2003), Chilean scrub communities (Sax 2002), desert grasslands (Cleland et al. 2004), many arid upland and riparian systems in the U.S. Great Basin and Rocky Mountain regions…”
WEAK VS. STRONG INVADERS OF NATURAL PLANT COMMUNITIES: ASSESSING INVASIBILITY AND IMPACT (2005, background): “…studies and most broad-scale studies have shown positive relationships between measures of diversity and invasibility (e.g., Stohlgren et al. 1999, Sax 2002, Brown and Peet 2003), several analyses of local-scale, observational data have revealed negative relationships (e.g., Stohlgren et al.…”
Dealing with non-native species: what makes the difference in South America? (2012, background): “species rich areas are prone to host a higher richness of non-native species at large spatial scales (e.g. Lonsdale 1999; Fridley et al. 2007; Sax 2002; Speziale and Ezcurra 2011), and people tend to settle in rich areas facilitating the establishment of introduced species (Stohlgren et al.”
INVASIBILITY AND ABIOTIC GRADIENTS: THE POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANT DIVERSITY (2005, background): “…generally supporting the diversity-resistance hypothesis (Tilman 1997, Levine 2000, 2001, Kennedy et al. 2002), and sampling of natural assemblages showing the opposite, with a positive correlation between native and exotic species richness (e.g., Lonsdale 1999, Sax 2002, Meiners et al. 2004).”
Overstorey tree species regulate colonization by native and exotic plants: a source of positive relationships between understorey diversity and invasibility (2008, background): “, 2005), identity of dominant species (Emery & Gross, 2006), or unidentified environmental factors (Sax, 2002; Cleland et al ., 2004; Gilbert & Lechowicz, 2005; Knight & Reich, 2005) may affect native and exotic plants in the same way, leading to positive relationships between native diversity and i”
Invasive alien plant species in China: regional distribution patterns (2005, background): “Our results are consistent with the general opinion that human activities have an important influence on the dispersal of exotic plants (Elton, 1958; Hodkinson & Thompson, 1997; Mack & D’Antonio, 1998; Sax, 2002).”
Management strategies for plant invasions: manipulating productivity, disturbance, and competition (2004, background): “This change may be accompanied by a reduction in the relative abundance and species richness of herbaceous exotic species (Sax, 2002; Meiners et al ., 2002), which suggests that, at least in some cases, the invasive exotic species of disturbed sites may be less shade tolerant, or otherwise less…”
Integrating the Study of Non-native Plant Invasions across Spatial Scales (2006, background): “Diversity and Distributions 8: 193–210 Sax DF and Brown JH (2000) The paradox of invasion.”
Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, result): “This is in accordance with other studies (Stohlgren et al. 1999; Sax 2002; Deutschewitz et al. 2003), and the positive relationship is most likely to reflect habitat diversity (Chong et al. 2001).”
Novel forests maintain ecosystem processes after the decline of native tree species (2012, background): “Our findings suggest that this local area is following regional patterns of increasing plant species richness due to introduced species in which successful introductions exceed extinctions (Sax 2002, Sax and Gaines 2003, 2008).”
Species diversity, invasion success, and ecosystem functioning: disentangling the influence of resource competition, facilitation, and extrinsic factors (2006, background): “These studies are often conducted at large scales (e.g. 10 to 1000 km2 or more, but see Sax 2002, Dunstan & Johnson 2004), involve many species, and are favored by some because they involve ‘natural’ communities.”
The biogeography of invasive alien plants in California: an application of GIS and spatial regression analysis (2004, background): “Sax (2002) found that the distribution of naturalized alien plants in Chile was highly correlated with elevation and species richness on 20 m 2 plots.”
INVASIBILITY AND SPECIES RICHNESS OF A COMMUNITY: A NEUTRAL MODEL AND A SURVEY OF PUBLISHED DATA (2004, background): “…that species-rich communities are actually invaded by more alien species than communities that are species-poor (Pickard 1984, Lonsdale 1999, Pyšek et al. 2002, Sax 2002, Stohlgren et al. 2002); these studies are typically based on much larger sampling units such as islands or nature reserves.”
Plant Invasions and Invasibility of Plant Communities (2013, background): “Other studies show that such a relationship exists: positive at the landscape scale (e.g. Stohlgren et al. 1999; Sax 2002) and negative at scales of < 1 m(2) (neighbourhood scales sensu Levine 2000).”
NULL MODELS OF EXOTIC INVASION AND SCALE‐DEPENDENT PATTERNS OF NATIVE AND EXOTIC SPECIES RICHNESS (2004, background): “At scales larger than local neighborhoods, natural patterns of native and exotic species richness have generally been shown to be positive, particularly in ﬁeld surveys (Stohlgren et al. 1998, 2002, 2003, Lonsdale 1999, Sax 2002; Bruno et al., in press ).”
