Ecological and Evolutionary Misadventures of Spartina (2013, background): “Experimental pollen addition increased seed set of isolated but not meadow plants, consistent with self-infertility and suggesting an Allee effect of S. alterniflora (Davis et al. 2004b, Taylor et al. 2004).”
The role of intraspecific hybridization in the evolution of invasiveness: a case study of the ornamental pear tree Pyrus calleryana (2009, background): “In new populations, the SI system may contribute to an Allee effect and slow invasion (Taylor et al. 2004; Taylor and Hastings 2005) because low density of individuals may limit the number of compatible genotypes present and therefore their ability to reproduce with one another (i.”
Finding optimal control strategies for invasive species: a density‐structured model for Spartina alterniflora (2004, methodology): “We have previously shown that the Allee effect dramatically slows the rate of spread of Spartina (Taylor et al. 2004).”
Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “2002) or the impact of pollen limitation in low-density patches of the smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora on its invasion rate (Taylor et al. 2004).”
Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “alterniflora Pollination failure demonstrated Reduced (but still positive) per capita population growth rate at low density in front of invasion Yes; invasive species Davis et al. (2004); Taylor et al. (2004) ”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “Theoretical studies have shown that Allee dynamics can negatively affect the growth and persistence of isolated colonies, thereby limiting spread rates (51, 131).”
Hybridization and the evolution of invasiveness in plants and other organisms (2009, background): “Recent theoretical (Taylor and Hastings 2005) and empirical studies (Taylor et al. 2004) have demonstrated the importance of Allee effects (mate shortage, selfincompatibility) in the dynamics of biological invasions.”
Spread of invasive Phragmites australis in estuaries with differing degrees of development: genetic patterns, Allee effects and interpretation (2010, background): “…inevitably decline), but it does not alleviate weak Allee effects (those effects that affect rate of population spread as an effect of population size without a lower threshold), as has also been found in another invasive wetland grass, Spartina alterniflora (Davis et al. 2004; Taylor et al. 2004).”
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Biological Invasions (2009, background): “The slow early spread of Spartina alterniflora from the eastern United States on the Pacific coast is probably partly explicable on these grounds (Davis et al. 2004, Taylor et al. 2004).”
Why Reproductive Systems Matter for the Invasion Biology of Plants (2010, background): “These demographic conditions can result in pollen limitation of seed set (Ashman et al. 2004 ) resulting in ‘Allee effects ’ , and a slowing of the invasion process (Allee 1931 ; Cheptou 2004 ; Taylor et al. 2004 ).”
