An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “Taxonomic group Terrestrial Freshwater Marine Total Plants 252 7 6 265 Vertebrates 15 16 15 46 Invertebrates 104 4 17 125 Others 52 Total 371 27 38 488 table 2.”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Most countries operate biosecurity programs that are designed to prevent the arrival, establishment, and spread of non-native species inside their national borders (Meyerson and Reaser 2002; Hulme 2011).”
The significance of the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands for the assessment of the vulnerability of native communities to climate change, alien insect invasions and plant viruses (2011, background): “…damage through their increasingly greater alteration of terrestrial, marine and freshwater communities, and thus are becoming a worldwide ecological and conservation concern (Kolar and Lodge 2001; Mooney and Cleland 2001; Richardson and Pysek 2008; Simberloff 2003; Streftaris and Zenetos 2006).”
When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “’’ Thus, population-level management should be viewed as a proximate goal towards broader or ultimate goals of alleviating the impacts of invasive species on ecosystems and society (Zavaleta et al. 2001; Hulme 2006; Regan et al. 2006; Hobbs and Richardson 2011; Suding 2011).”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “Recently, plant invasions have been the focus of substantial and diverse research efforts (see Pyšek et al., 2006; Richardson and Pyšek, 2008, and references therein), and the central question of why certain species become invasive and others not remains at the forefront of many research agendas.”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Although research on biological invasions has a long tradition, publications on this topic have been numerous only since the 1990s (Darwin 1859; Elton 1958; Cadotte 2006; Davis 2006; Richardson and Pyšek 2008).”
Conservation biogeography – foundations, concepts and challenges (2010, background): “A range of fundamental questions relating to the ability of introduced species to establish and form self-sustaining populations in new areas are the focus of much research effort (Richardson & Pyšek, 2008).”
Human‐mediated introductions of Australian acacias – a global experiment in biogeography (2011, background): “The multiple dimensions of the natural experiment may suggest new approaches and priorities for the emerging field of invasion science (Richardson, 2011b).”
Which Taxa Are Alien? Criteria, Applications, and Uncertainties (2018, background): “The first attempts to define alien species were developed more than 100 years ago, with the plant ecologists de Candolle, Watson, and Thellung being at the forefront (Chew and Hamilton 2011, Kowarik and Pyšek 2012).”
The imbalance of nature: revisiting a Darwinian framework for invasion biology (2014, background): “…the study of biological invasions has matured from one largely restricted to ecological processes – competition, predation, disturbance – to one that more fully acknowledges community assembly as driven by the interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes (Simberloff, 2000; Richardson, 2011).”
The effect of enemy‐release and climate conditions on invasive birds: a regional test using the rose‐ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) as a case study (2009, background): “Many studies in biological invasion aim to improve our understanding of invasion mechanisms (Richardson & Pysek, 2008).”
