Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, neutral): “Passengers establish and dominate plant communities because of these altered processes and properties, but are not a direct cause of these changes and may even maintain ecosystem function in settings where native communities have been suppressed (MacDougall and Turkington 2005).”
Direct and indirect effects of invasive species: Biodiversity loss is a major mechanism by which an invasive tree affects ecosystem functioning (2019, background): “Evidence for both the passenger (Macdougall & Turkington, 2005) and the driver model (White et al., 2013) has been found in different systems.”
Biological invasions in inland waters: an overview (2007, background): “(9) There is still a poor state of knowledge of whether invasive species are the ‘‘drivers’’ of the extinction of indigenous populations or species, or merely the ‘‘passengers’’ along for the environmental ride ( MacDougall and Turkington 2005 ).”
Interactions between non‐native plant species and the floristic composition of common habitats (2006, background): “Rather, they may be ‘passengers’ subjected to the same environmental changes influencing native species (MacDougall & Turkington 2005).”
Occupation, body size and sex ratio of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in established and newly invaded areas of an Ontario river (2011, background): “…and cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus; Somers et al., 2003)], propagule pressure during an invasion, the magnitude of environmental disturbance (MacDougall & Turkington, 2005), and abiotic factors (Moyle & Light, 1996) that can aid or restrict population spread (e.g. Argentinean ants, Holway,…”
Impacts of introduced seaweeds (2007, background): “…which may lead to resource variability in the recipient habitat, and the establishment of invasive species and their proliferation to high abundances with associated impacts (Davis et al. 2000, Mack et al. 2000, MacDougall and Turkington 2005, Dunstan and Johnson 2007, Valentine et al. 2007).”
Extent of Kentucky Bluegrass and Its Effect on Native Plant Species Diversity and Ecosystem Services in the Northern Great Plains of the United States (2014, background): “Additionally, its ability to regenerate by tillering gives it a competitive advantage over native vegetation (MacDougall and Turkington 2004, 2005; Miles and Knops 2009b; Wedin 1995).”
Novel urban ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. (2011, background): “These introduced species are, as in other cases (MacDougall and Turkington, 2005), often passengers rather than drivers of change.”
Disentangling relationships between habitat conditions, disturbance history, plant diversity, and American black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) invasion in a European temperate forest (2007, background): “Those are often used to infer causal relationships (Gurevitch & Padilla, 2004; Didham et al ., 2005), and to speculate about competitive exclusion of natives (‘driver’ model sensu MacDougall & Turkington, 2005; Fig.”
Fruit quantity of invasive shrubs predicts the abundance of common native avian frugivores in central Pennsylvania (2011, background): “While the role of competition in biological invasions has been thoroughly documented (Callaway & Aschehoug, 2000; Mack et al., 2000; MacDougall & Turkington, 2005), the role of mutualisms in determining the success”
To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “Furthermore, colonization by exotic invasive plant species is facilitated by reduced competition from heavily browsed native vegetation (Rinella et al. 2012) and soil disturbance in areas of concentrated activity at feeding sites (MacDougall and Turkington 2005).”
Invasive plants accelerate nitrogen cycling: evidence from experimental woody monocultures (2017, background): “…conditions and the influence of coexisting species on soil processes (Ehrenfeld, Kourtev & Huang 2001; Evans et al. 2001; Mack, D’Antonio & Ley 2001; MacDougall & Turkington 2005; Stricker, Hagan & Flory 2015), such that it has not yet been possible to attribute changes in ecosystem N cycling…”
Field‐based competitive impacts between invaders and natives at varying resource supply (2008, background): “According to this view, competition may play a role, but a subsidiary one, in perpetuating exotic dominance (MacDougall & Turkington 2005; but see Seabloom et al .”
Patterns of environmental change associated withTypha xglauca invasion in a Great Lakes coastal wetland (2009, background): “However, as with certain terrestrial invaders (e.g., Vitousek and Walker 1989), invasive wetland plants may also act as drivers, not just passengers, of change (MacDougall and Turkington 2005).”
Prominent role of invasive species in avian biodiversity loss (2009, background): “The importance of invasive species in ecological change and biodiversity loss has been recently questioned by some (Gurevich and Padilla, 2004; MacDougall and Turkington, 2005) on the grounds that the frequent positive correlation between habitat degradation and the number of invasive species makes ”
