Do vigour of introduced populations and escape from specialist herbivores contribute to invasiveness? (2005, neutral): “1994; Wolfe 2002; but see Agrawal & Kotanen 2003; Vilá et al .”
Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “Many studies have examined the effects of invasive plants on native arthropod biodiversity, and the conclusions drawn from different studies appear to be mixed, depending on the study systems (e.g. Olckers and Hulley 1991; Agrawal and Kotanen 2003; Frenzel and Brandl 2003; Herrera and Dudley 2003; G”
A comparison of invasive and non‐invasive dayflowers (Commelinaceae) across experimental nutrient and water gradients (2004, background): “An even better approach addresses both of these potential problems by comparing multiple invasive species to multiple, closely related native species (Maillet & Lopez-Garcia, 2000; Agrawal & Kotanen, 2003), though this has rarely been done.”
ENEMY RELEASE? AN EXPERIMENT WITH CONGENERIC PLANT PAIRS AND DIVERSE ABOVE- AND BELOWGROUND ENEMIES (2005, methodology): “In the previous study, we found greater levels of herbivory on introduced plants than on natives (see Agrawal and Kotanen 2003: Table 1), yet in the current analysis, natives experienced greater average levels of damage (Fig.”
Insect herbivores drive important indirect effects of exotic plants on native communities (2005, background): “This study emphasizes the fact that introduced species, though often thought to have ‘‘escaped’’ their herbivores (but see Maron and Vila 2001, Louda and Rand 2002, Agrawal and Kotanen 2003, Colautti et al. 2004), can still have important herbivore-mediated indirect effects on community members.”
Life‐history correlates of plant invasiveness at regional and continental scales (2005, background): “Newly arriving species will face a suite of enemies, which represent negative interactions limiting the new species success (e.g. Agrawal & Kotanen 2003).”
Predator-prey naïveté, antipredator behavior, and the ecology of predator invasions (2010, background): “Both hypotheses have received mixed support (Agrawal and Kotanen 2003, Colautti et al. 2004, Mitchell et al. 2006); however, most tests have involved invasive plants and their enemies, and not invasive predators.”
Predicting novel herbivore–plant interactions (2013, background): “…release hypothesis, but also clearly show that there is large variation in the degree to which non-native plants actually escape native herbivores (Agrawal and Kotanen 2003, Agrawal et al. 2005), to the degree that in many cases, nonnative plants are even better hosts for herbivores than natives…”
Is invasion success explained by the enemy release hypothesis (2004, background): “In a common garden experiment on multiple host species, Agrawal & Kotanen (2003) noted that while some NIS were less affected by herbivory than native congeners, many were not, and the overall trend was actually in the reverse direction.”
Herbivory, time since introduction and the invasiveness of exotic plants (2005, background): “…large variance in herbivory corresponded to our expectations; given the mixed results of previous tests of the enemy release hypothesis (Keane & Crawley 2002 and references therein; Agrawal & Kotanen 2003), we did not expect the exotics to enjoy a strong advantage in terms of escape from herbivory.”
The role of eco-evolutionary experience in invasion success (2013, neutral): “Ecological similarity of species is often assumed to be positively correlated with the taxonomic or phylogenetic relatedness between them (e.g. Agrawal and Kotanen 2003, Ricciardi and Atkinson 2004, Cavender-Bares et al. 2004, Strauss et al. 2006, Diez et al. 2008, Procheş et al. 2008).”
The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “However, this may not translate into an advantage over natives, since introduced and native species in the same habitat appear to suffer similar amounts of enemy attack (Blaney and Kotanen 2001; Maron and Vilà 2001; Agrawal and Kotanen 2003; Colautti et al. 2004).”
THE EVOLUTION OF AN INVASIVE PLANT: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY WITH SILENE LATIFOLIA (2004, background): “…biologists begun to empirically test this hypothesis, and, for a wide range of animals and plants, the level of attack appears to be lower in the introduced range (Wolfe 2002, Mitchell and Power 2003, Torchin et al. 2003, DeWalt et al. 2004; but see Maron and Vila 2001, Agrawal and Kotanen 2003).”
A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, background): “2004) attack on native and exotic conspecifics or of herbivore damage on exotics and ecologically equivalent natives in recipient communities (Agrawal & Kotanen 2003; Siemann & Rogers 2003c), such studies provide only limited insight into the importance of enemy escape.”
Testing the enemy release hypothesis: a review and meta-analysis (2006, neutral): “The second type of comparison is more informative if the pairs are close phylogenetically and similar ecologically because herbivory varies widely across plant families and genera (Agrawal and Kotanen 2003).”
Allelopathy and plant invasions: traditional, congeneric, and bio-geographical approaches (2008, background): “Congeneric approaches have been used to study the role of natural enemies in exotic invasion ( Agrawal and Kotanen 2003 ), although not all exotics tested were invaders by our definition.”
Tolerance to herbivory, and not resistance, may explain differential success of invasive, naturalized, and native North American temperate vines (2007, background): “One powerful approach used to reduce the effects of phylogeny is to compare native, invasive, and naturalized taxa within the same genus or family (Mack, 1996; Agrawal & Kotanen, 2003).”
