Distribution of alien vs. native plant species in roadside communities along an altitudinal gradient in Tenerife and Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) (2005, background): “Mountain systems are highly suitable for investigating such relationships, particularly the relative importance of climatic limitation, community invasibility and propagule pressure (Becker et al., 2005; Daehler, 2005; McDougall et al., 2005).”
Microclimatic Modifications of Cushion Plants and Their Consequences for Seedling Survival of Native and Non-native Herbaceous Species in the High Andes of Central Chile (2007, background): “However, several studies have reported the presence of non-native species in a number of alpine habitats (e.g., Johnston and Pickering, 2001; Dullinger et al., 2003; Arévalo et al., 2006; Beccker et al., 2006; McDougall et al., 2006).”
Facilitation of the non-native Taraxacum officinale by native nurse cushion species in the high Andes of central Chile: are there differences between nurses? (2007, background): “…several studies have reported the presence of non-native species in a number of alpine habitats (e.g. Arévalo et al. 2005; Beccker et al. 2005; McDougall et al. 2005), where disturbance and negative interactions among native and exotic species have been proposed as key factors determining…”
Ain't no mountain high enough: plant invasions reaching new elevations (2009, background): “For temperate mountain systems, a continuous decrease in non-native plant species richness with elevation has been reported (Pauchard and Alaback 2004; Becker et al. 2005; McDougall et al. 2005; Figure 2).”
Natural and land-use history of the Northwest mountain ecoregions (USA) in relation to patterns of plant invasions (2005, background): “However, there is concern that non-native plants that perform poorly under forest canopies, but are tolerant of a wide range of climatic and soil conditions, pose a threat to disturbed and therefore open subalpine and alpine environments (see Becker et al., 2005; McDougall et al., 2005).”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Weeds are becoming more common in alpine areas (McDougall et al. 2005), and”
The role of bioclimatic origin, residence time and habitat context in shaping non-native plant distributions along an altitudinal gradient (2010, background): “Studies in other mountainous regions have shown either a monotonic decline of non-native plant species richness with altitude or, as in our case, a hump-shaped pattern (Becker et al. 2005; Jakobs et al. 2010; Marini et al. 2009; McDougall et al. 2005; Pauchard et al. 2009).”
Altitudinal distribution of alien plant species in the Swiss Alps (2005, background): “There are also predictions that alien plants will spread into alpine areas of the Australian Alps as a response to climate warning (McDougall et al., 2005).”
Destruction without extinction: long‐term impacts of an invasive tree species on Galápagos highland vegetation (2009, unknown): “It was also surprising that no relationship was detected between the number of indigenous (native and endemic) species and the number of introduced species (see Appendix S2), such as has been reported elsewhere (Stohlgren et al. 1999; Sax 2002; McDougall et al. 2005).”
Non‐native flora of Italy: Species distribution and threats (2010, background): “…between a decrease in the number of alien species and higher altitudes is widely acknowledged in the literature (e.g. Pauchard & Alaback 2004; Becker et al. 2005; Chytr [yacute] et al. 2005; McDougall et al. 2005; Chytr [yacute], Jaro [scaron]ík et al. 2008; Mallen-Cooper & Pickering 2008).”
