Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “To date, few long-term datasets have been investigated to elucidate patterns of invasions into natural systems (but see Meiners et al. 2004).”
INVASIBILITY AND ABIOTIC GRADIENTS: THE POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANT DIVERSITY (2005, background): “…generally supporting the diversity-resistance hypothesis (Tilman 1997, Levine 2000, 2001, Kennedy et al. 2002), and sampling of natural assemblages showing the opposite, with a positive correlation between native and exotic species richness (e.g., Lonsdale 1999, Sax 2002, Meiners et al. 2004).”
The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “…to directly relate to effects of introduction is that more diverse communities are less invasible; this hypothesis has been extensively discussed elsewhere (e.g., Levine and D’Antonio 1999; Kennedy et al. 2002; Cleland et al. 2004; Jiang and Morin 2004; Meiners et al. 2004; Hierro et al. 2005).”
Intact forests provide only weak resistance to a shade‐tolerant invasive Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) (2006, background): “Resistance to invasion, usually in the form of competition from the native community, is commonly assumed to be a primary determinant of exotic plants invasions (Levine 2000; Seabloom et al. 2003; Meiners et al. 2004 ).”
Diversity declines in Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) patches (2009, background): “Oldfield studies that monitor vegetation over many decades spanning the invasion of multiple species have been used to shed light on the impact of invasion (e.g., Meiners et al., 2001, 2004).”
Exotic plants establish persistent communities (2006, background): “Comparable community-level effects on invasibility and community composition have been discussed or observed for native-dominated plant communities (Meiners et al. 2001; Lortie et al. 2004; Meiners et al. 2004).”
Invasion impacts local species turnover in a successional system (2004, background): “Analyses were limited to invaded plots to eliminate confounding effects of species richness on invasibility ( Meiners et al. 2004 ).”
Invasion impacts diversity through altered community dynamics (2005, background): “However, there is no evidence for this type of control on invasion within this system as invasions of the exotic species discussed here were not regulated by their functional counterparts (Meiners et al. 2004), as found by Von Holle & Simberloff (2004).”
Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “While colonization and establishment processes are similar (Davis et al., 2000; Meiners et al., 2004) and arguments for not considering native species invasive some may consider weak (Valéry et al., 2008), we strongly advocate the use of invasion (and invaders) exclusively in the context of alien…”
