• NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, background): “On the contrary, only a few studies have explored whether, once established, the impacts of invasive species on ecosystem processes also vary among sites (e.g., Stock et al. 1995, Vilá et al. 2006).”
• Impact of landscape alteration and invasions on pollinators: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “…from pollinator abundance to fruit and seed set (Aizen & Feinsinger 1994), there are few studies exploring the impact on plant–pollinator networks (Aizen, Morales & Morales 2008; Vilà et al. 2009), and on plant and pollinator progeny performance (Gonzalez-Varo et al. 2010; Potts et al. 2011).”
• Home site advantage in two long‐lived arctic plant species: results from two 30‐year reciprocal transplant studies (2012, background): “Invasive plant species becomewell integrated into the native plant–pollinator networks (Vilà et al. 2009) through repeated visits by native pollinators and large effects are expected to occur on native plants rather than on native pollinators (Bjerknes et al.”
• Linking the impacts of plant invasion on community functional structure and ecosystem properties (2016, unknown): “Traveset, A., Brundu, G., Carta, L., Mprezetou, I., Lambdon, P., Manca, M., Médail, F., Moragues, E., Rodríguez-Pérez, J., (...) & Hulme, P.E. 2008a. Consistent performance of invasive plant species within and among islands of the Mediterranean basin.”
• Invasion of Solidago gigantea in contrasting experimental plant communities: effects on soil microbes, nutrients and plant–soil feedbacks (2010, background): “…expansion is a strategy described for many invasive plants (Thompson, Hodgson & Rich 1995; Küster et al. 2008) and increases in soil organic carbon have often been observed in response to plant invasions (Scott, Saggar & Mc Intosh 2001, Fickbohm& Zhu 2006, Heneghan et al. 2006, Vila et al. 2006).”
• Alien Vascular Plants of Europe (2009, background): “Iceplant Carpobrotus edulis (Vilà et al. 2006) and giant hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum (Pyšek et al. 2007) are examples of alien species causing serious decrease in species richness of invaded communities.”
• Tree invasion in naturally treeless environments: impacts of quinine (Cinchona pubescens) trees on native vegetation in Galápagos. (2007, background): “Invasion patterns vary broadly between regions, habitats and communities (Lonsdale, 1999; Chytrý et al., 2005; Palmer, 2006; Vilá et al., 2006).”

• Do non‐native species invasions lead to biotic homogenization at small scales? The similarity and functional diversity of habitats compared for alien and native components of Mediterranean floras (2008, background): “Also, heavily invaded habitats tend to be species-poor (Vilà et al., 2006).”

• Biological flora of Central Europe: Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (2007, background): “Ailanthus is common on Mediterranean islands (Lloret et al., 2004; Vila et al., 2006), and on Crete, its distribution is linked to the main transport network of major roads (Hulme, 2004).”
