The global invasion success of Central European plants is related to distribution characteristics in their native range and species traits (2009, background): “It needs to be noted that the accuracy of Randall’s ‘Global compendium of weeds’ has been criticized (e.g., Richardson & Rejmánek, 2004) for several reasons: some of the reference lists include species that have not become naturalized/invasive in the respective geographical region, but are assumed…”
No ‘home’ versus ‘away’ effects of decomposition found in a grassland–forest reciprocal litter transplant study (2011, background): “This is interesting as grassland-to-forest conversion is an important global change resulting from fire suppression, the spread of invasive trees and afforestation (Hibbard et al., 2001; Richardson and Rejmánek, 2004).”
The evolution and phylogenetic placement of invasive Australian Acacia species (2011, background): “The percentage of invasive species in Acacia is higher than in the Myrtaceae, but much lower than in Pinus (12%), both of which have been planted worldwide (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2004).”
Introduction history and species characteristics partly explain naturalization success of North American woody species in Europe (2009, background): “This pattern could reflect the successful naturalization of many coniferous species (Richardson & Rejmánek 2004), and the successful establishment of evergreen broad-leaved woody plants in the Mediterranean parts of Europe.”
Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants (2014, background): “Functional shifts may be particularly common in tree invasions, as forestry trees are disproportionately ectomycorrhizal and/or associated with N-fixing bacteria or Frankia (Richardson 1998; Richardson et al. 2000; Richardson and Rejmánek 2004).”
Trees and shrubs as invasive alien species – a global review (2011, background): “…G EO G R A P H Y A J ou rn al o f Co ns er va ti on y D iv er si ty a nd D is tr ib ut io ns many species of trees and shrubs have become naturalized or invasive (Binggeli, 1996; Binggeli et al., 1998; Richardson, 1998; Richardson & Rejmánek, 2004; Williams & Cameron, 2006; Richardson, 2011a,b).”
Seed predation as a barrier to alien conifer invasions (2008, background): “Also, results from a companion study on Isla Victoria on the role of seedling herbivory on pine invasion show relatively low rates of seedling herbivory.”
Pinus contorta invasion in the Chilean Patagonia: local patterns in a global context (2010, background): “…contorta has been classified as a naturalized species in Great Britain, Ireland and Russia, and as invasive species in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden (Richardson and Higgins 1998; Haysom and Murphy 2003; Ledgard 2001; Despain 2001; Richardson 2006; Richardson and Rejmánek 2004) (Fig.”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “…consideration as propagule pressure in the invasion literature, but models suggest that fecundity can influence the dominance of nonnative plants (Richardson and Rejmanek 2004) and that it interacts with environmental conditions to influence the impacts of nonnative species (Jacquemyn et al.…”
Alien conifer invasions in South America: short fuse burning? (2008, background): “As a result of recent widespread afforestation programs and other plantings, alien conifer invasions are now beginning to emerge as a problem in several parts of South America (Richardson and Rejmánek 2004; Fig.”
Ecosystem service and biodiversity trade-offs in two woody successions (2011, background): “Removal of woody plants, particularly exotic invaders, in grasslands has been justified on the basis of biodiversity protection (Richardson & Rejmánek 2004).”
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world: progress and challenges (2017, background): “Pseudotsuga menziesii is the species that has become naturalized in most countries, and the United Kingdom is the country with the most naturalized Pinaceae species (Richardson and Rejmánek 2004).”
Home away from home — objective mapping of high‐risk source areas for plant introductions (2007, background): “This species is invasive in Argentina and Great Britain, but depends on squirrels and/or birds for dispersal of its large seeds (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2004).”
A comparison of invasive and non‐invasive dayflowers (Commelinaceae) across experimental nutrient and water gradients (2004, background): “A second approach to the study of characteristics of invaders compares traits in invasive and non-invasive species, though studies of this kind have been rare (see Discussion in Rejmánek & Richardson, 1996; Richardson & Rejmánek, 2004).”
Pinus: a model group for unlocking the secrets of alien plant invasions? (2006, background): “Although alien pines have become naturalized and invasive in many parts of the world, in a very wide range of habitat types, there are some parts of the world that seem to be resistant to pine invasions (references in Richardson & Rejmánek 2004: 327, Mortensen & Mack 2006).”
