Do alien plant species profit more from high resource supply than natives? A trait‐based analysis (2013, background): “…aliens leaf traits (e.g. Gulías et al., 2003; Leishman & Thomson, 2005; Funk & Vitousek, 2007; González et al., 2010; Ordonez et al., 2010; Penuelas et al., 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010) and the association between them (e.g. Leishman et al., 2007; Leishman et al., 2010; Penuelas et al., 2010).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “Since then, numerous studies have compared traits between native and non-native species (Daehler 2003; van Kleunen et al. 2010a), or between non-native and invasive species, and, several consistent patterns have been identified.”
Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “Recent advances in identifying characteristics associated with invasiveness (Daehler, 2003; Nentwig et al., 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010) and defining meaningful proxies for propagule pressure (Pino et al., 2005; Herborg et al., 2007; Chytrý et al., 2008a; Pyšek et al., 2010) hold the promise…”
How successful are plant species reintroductions (2011, background): “…persistence and spread are competitive ability, vegetative reproduction, seed bank persistence, wind pollination, plant size, growth rate and leaf area (e.g. Kolar and Lodge, 2001; Pywell et al., 2003; Farnsworth, 2007; Milbau and Stout, 2008; Cornwell and Ackerly, 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010).”
Invasive species differ in key functional traits from native and non‐invasive alien plant species (2019, background): “Support exists in the literature for both the ‘phenotypic divergence’ and ‘phenotypic con‐ vergence’ hypotheses, although, as here, the ‘phenotypic divergence’ hypothesis tends to be supported most commonly (e.g., Leishman et al., 2007, 2010; Ordonez et al., 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010).”
Hotspots of plant invasion predicted by propagule pressure and ecosystem characteristics (2011, background): “Such a general model has merit (Thuiller et al., 2006), but more targeted predictions can be made by grouping species according to their functional characteristics, life history and weed status (Randall & Thomas, 2007; van Kleunen et al., 2010).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Alien Plants (2018, positive): “The comparator choice is pivotal to whether the question of interest can be answered (van Kleunen et al. 2010a).”
MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions (2020, background): “Once in the new region, target-region specific analyses (see van Kleunen et al. 2010a) are sensible, recognising, though, the properties of the specific species pool that arrived.”
Heads you win, tails you lose: Life‐history traits predict invasion and extinction risk of the world's freshwater fishes (2017, methodology): “…Ninv=thrþNnat Ninv=thr×Nnat þ di2 Ninv=thrþNnatð Þ q 2 Confidence intervals of the mean effect size were estimated through a bootstrap resampling procedure using 4999 permutations (following van Kleunen et al., 2010).”
Review of optical-based remote sensing for plant trait mapping (2013, background): “…et al., 2010; Wright et al., 2004), community 62 ecology (Kraft et al., 2008), plant response to environmental pressures (de Bello et al., 2006; 63 Garnier et al., 2007), plant invasion (Kurokawa et al., 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010) and 64 assessment of ecosystem services (Lavorel et al., 2011).”
