Accidental transfer of non-native soil organisms into Antarctica on construction vehicles (2010, background): “In comparison Whinam et al. (2005) , only found \1,000 seeds and moss shoots associated with the clothing and personal luggage of 44 expeditioners travelling to sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island, which highlights the high risk of non-native seed and propagule importations associated with soils on vehi”
Humans introduce viable seeds to the Arctic on footwear (2012, background): “Elsewhere in the world, humans and their associated activities have been demonstrated to be effective vectors of unintentional species transfer, providing carriage for plants (Clifford 1956; Powell 1968; Falinski 1972; Higashino et al. 1983; Whinam et al. 2005; Lee and Chown 2009a; Wichmann et al. 2”
Plant invasions in treeless vegetation of the Australian Alps. (2005, background): “Seed of non-native plants may also enter on shoes and clothing of visitors and in faeces of animals that come from outside the Australian Alps (van Rees, 1984; Whinam and Comfort, 1996; Whinam et al., 2005).”
The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “The increasing extent of human contact with Antarctica, and between different regions within Antarctica, means that the potential supply of nonindigenous species is increasing (Frenot et al. 2005, Whinam et al. 2005, Hull and Bergstrom 2006, Lee and Chown 2009, Chown et al. 2012a).”
Incursion and excursion of Antarctic biota: past, present and future (2006, unknown): “While biological propagules have crossed (and continue to cross) into the Antarctic (Smith, 1991; Bargagli et al ., 1996; Marshall, 1996; Downs, 2003; Whinam et al ., 2004), far fewer terrestrial plant NIS are known on islands south of the PFZ than north of it (Fig.”
Conservation biogeography of the Antarctic (2012, background): “…& Chown, 1999; Chown et al., 2007), but they are also increasing the probability of the introduction of additional species from outside the region (Whinam et al., 2005; Lee & Chown, 2009; Chown et al., 2012) and the likelihood of intra-regional propagule movements that can lead to biological…”
Terrestrial biodiversity in Antarctica - recent advances and future challenges (2010, background): “Previously anecdotal knowledge of ‘accidental’ transfer events is now being replaced by examples of careful documentation (e.g. Hughes et al., 2010; Lee and Chown, 2009a,b; Whinam et al., 2004).”
Widespread plant species: natives versus aliens in our changing world (2011, background): “With exponentially increasing exploration, trade, and transportation, the intentional delivery of plant species is breaking geographic barriers at unprecedented rates, bringing many hitchhiking seeds, propagules, and pathogens along with them (Richardson et al. 2000; Mack 2001; Whinam et al. 2005; H”
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): “The sub-Antarctic province form a loose ring within the latitudinal belt 45–54 S (Whinam et al. 2005), where the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone (APFZ), in the South of the area, constitutes a major oceanic and climatic boundary.”
Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity in a changing world (2011, background): “There are now examples of careful documentation of what would previously have been anecdotal knowledge of transfer events (e.g. Whinam et al. 2004; Lee and Chown 2009a, b; Hughes et al. 2010).”
