Selection of preadapted populations allowed Senecio inaequidens to invade Central Europe (2008, background): “These species may impose rather different ecological interactions, and therefore selection pressures, particularly because they lack a coevolutionary history with the introduced species (Callaway & Ridenour, 2004; Hallett, 2006).”
Predator-prey naïveté, antipredator behavior, and the ecology of predator invasions (2010, background): “A related idea is the EICA hypothesis (evolution of increased competitive ability; Blossey and Notzhold 1995, Callaway and Ridenour 2004; link C).”
Functional traits of alien plants across contrasting climatic and land‐use regimes: do aliens join the locals or try harder than them? (2010, background): “…differential below-ground competition and soil biota interaction (Kueffer et al. 2007; Mangla & Callaway 2008), resource-enemy release (Blumenthal 2006), novel biochemical weapons (Callaway & Ridenour 2004) or other biotic interactions such as invasional meltdown (Simberloff & 2009 The Authors.”
Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “…non-native origin can be a surrogate for (i) strength of human association, (ii) disjunct evolutionary histories (e.g. novel weapons hypothesis; Callaway & Ridenour 2004), (iii) an expanded species pool that increases the probability of encountering species with high performance (the sampling…”
Seasonal priority effects: implications for invasion and restoration in a semi-arid system. (2012, background): “…pulses (Davis, Grime & Thompson 2000), high propagule pressure (Lonsdale 1999; Colautti, Grigorovich &MacIsaac 2006), release from natural enemies (Liu & Stiling 2006), or novel weapons (Callaway & Ridenour 2004) all may contribute to the establishment and subsequent success of invasive species.”
Allelopathic effects of three plant invaders on germination of native species: a field study (2013, neutral): “The Novel Weapons Hypothesis proposes that invasive plant species possess biochemical compounds with a strong allelopathic effect on native plant species due to an evolutionary mismatch (Callaway and Ridenour 2004).”
Neighbourhood analyses of the allelopathic effects of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima in temperate forests (2008, background): “However, recent studies present compelling evidence that allelopathic interactions between invasive and native species can be one of the mechanisms underlying the remarkable success of some of the most aggressive plant invaders (Bais et al . 2003; Callaway & Ridenour 2004; Prati & Bossdorf 2004; S”
The imbalance of nature: revisiting a Darwinian framework for invasion biology (2014, background): “…acquire by leaving their evolutionary context behind, such as hypotheses based on missing enemies (Colautti et al., 2004), novel phenotypes (Callaway & Ridenour, 2004) or the evolution of increased competitive ability upon arrival to a newly occupied region (Blossey & Nötzold, 1995), or…”
Natives adapting to invasive species: ecology, genes, and the sustainability of conservation (2007, background): “For the latter, Callaway and Ridenour (2004) propose the ‘novel weapons’ hypothesis, suggesting (with respect to plants) that competitors in the habitat of origin evolved tolerance to allelopathic compounds, while those in the new range have not.”
Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “…invade natural communities, including the release of natural enemies of exotics (Keane & Crawley 2002), allelopathic effects of exotics on native plants (Hierro & Callaway 2003; Callaway & Ridenour 2004) and resource opportunities for exotics upon arrival in new ecosystems (Shea & Chesson 2002).”
New techniques and findings in the study of a candidate allelochemical implicated in invasion success (2005, methodology): “The AARS hypothesis has been based largely on the work performed with the invasive knapweeds, in particular spotted knapweed (commonly referred to as Centaurea maculosa) ( Callaway & Ridenour 2004 ).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Alien Plants (2018, neutral): “The novel weapons hypothesis posits that some chemical compounds of an alien species can negatively affect naïve native species (Callaway & Ridenour 2004).”
Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “How do invasive species displace residents, that is, evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) (Blossey & Notzold 1995, Joshi & Vrieling 2005), novel weapons hypothesis (Callaway & Ridenour 2004)?”
