• A new framework for predicting invasive plant species (2007, background): “Both the present model and limiting similarity theory predict that successful invaders should be functionally different from resident native species (Emery 2007).”
• Functional composition controls invasion success in a California serpentine grassland (2010, background): “2003; Fargione & Tilman 2005, 2005), but others have not (Von Holle 2005; Emery 2007). van Ruijven, De Deyn & Berendse (2003) found strong effects of two species in the family Asteraceae on the success of two common invaders (non-exotic) also in this family.”
• The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next? (2017, unknown): “To date, most studies attempting to infer invasion processes or anticipate successful invasions have used measures of the absolute functional (or phylogenetic) distance between the invader and the native species (also called ‘alpha-niche’, Ackerly and Cornwell 2007) (Table 1).”
• Can limiting similarity increase invasion resistance? A meta‐analysis of experimental studies (2013, methodology): “Recently, interest in limiting similarity has come from applied ecology in an attempt to understand what makes plant communities susceptible to non-native invasion (Symstad 2000, Emery 2007, Funk et al. 2008).”
• Reducing redundancy in invasion ecology by integrating hypotheses into a single theoretical framework (2009, background): “These hypotheses reflect the limiting similarity hypothesis, which supposes that successful invaders should be functionally different from species already present in the community (especially indigenous dominants; MacArthur & Levins, 1967; Emery, 2007).”
