Diversity, biogeography and the global flows of alien amphibians and reptiles (2017, background): “…Taiwan 3 7 10 17 United Kingdom 7 3 10 Space, & Thomas, 2009; Duncan, Blackburn, & Sol, 2003; van Kleunen et al., 2015), with differing levels of invasion being closely related to the extent of human impact on island ecosystems (Blackburn et al., 2016; Denslow et al., 2009; Kueffer et al., 2010).”
A global comparison of plant invasions on oceanic islands (2010, methodology): “Denslow et al. (2009) selected a model with area, GDP and population size (although as a non-significant predictor) that explained 88% of the variation in occurrence of species among island groups.”
Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “Alien species richness is indeed strongly correlated with indices of economic development across oceanic islands (Denslow et al., 2009; Kueffer et al., 2010), possibly in part because anthropogenic habitat alteration is a strong driver of plant invasions (cf. Kueffer et al., 2010) or because…”
Plant invasions on small Mediterranean islands: An overview (2016, background): “It also highlights the urgent need to further increase such efforts aimed at preventing, controlling or mitigating the effects of species introductions in island ecosystems worldwide (Denslow et al. 2009; Blackburn et al. 2015; Jones et al. 2016).”
