Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, background): “The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) suggests that NIPS benefit from transport outside the range of their natural enemies (Elton, 1958; Maron & Vila, 2001; Keane & Crawley, 2002; Carpenter & Cappuccino, 2005).”
Restoration of Themeda australis swards suppresses soil nitrate and enhances ecological resistance to invasion by exotic annuals (2009, background): “This can involve mechanisms that directly suppress the invader, such as the secretion of growthlimiting chemicals (allelopathy; e.g. Hobbs and Atkins 1991), or selective herbivory (Maron and Vila 2001; Prieur-Richard et al. 2002).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “5) Enemy release hypothesis: the absence of enemies in the exotic range is a cause of invasion success (Maron and Vilà 2001; Keane and Crawley 2002; Mitchell and Power 2003; Torchin et al. 2003; Colautti et al. 2004; Liu and Stiling 2006; Blumenthal et al. 2009).”
Biological invasions: winning the science battles but losing the conservation war? (2003, background): “The answer relates back to the issue of spatialplants do so well in their introduced ranges (Maron & Vila, 2001).”
The elephant in the room: the role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology (2013, background): “Currently, we do not know when biotic resistance causes invasion of introduced populations to fail because most experiments use species that have already overcome the naturalization barrier in the studied system (Maron and Vilà 2001, Levine et al. 2004).”
The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “…on herbs than on woody plants, consistent with an earlier conclusion that herbivory was likely to have stronger effects on shorter lived species (Maron and Vilà 2001), although associations between susceptibility to grazing and life history may not necessarily hold across systems (Vesk et al.…”
An Experimental Test of Resistance to Cheatgrass Invasion: Limiting Resources at Different Life Stages (2004, background): “Invasion biology hypotheses suggest that enemies (predators/parasites) acquired in the invaded range increase invasion resistance (biotic resistance hypothesis; for review see Maron and Vilà 2001).”
Can alien plants support generalist insect herbivores? (2010, result): “Our results also do not support the hypothesis that native generalists will be able to slow or limit the establishment or spread of alien plants (the biotic resistance hypothesis; Hokkanen and Pimentel 1989; Maron and Vilà 2001; Colautti et al. 2004).”
Ecological Genetics of Plant Invasion: What Do We Know? (2008, background): “This has led to suggestions that the success of exotic plants can be attributed to release from natural enemies and more favorable abiotic conditions (Keane and Crawley 2002; Maron and Vila 2001).”
