Elton, C.S. 1958: The ecology of invasions by animals and plants. London: Methuen (2007, background): “…featured in the book’s title, are given scant coverage (only 18 species of vascular plants in the index), while other groups, in keeping even with current research in invasion ecology (Wilson et al., 2007a), get much less coverage: fungi (5 spp.), protists (2 spp.) and red alga (1 species).”
The role of species charisma in biological invasions (2020, background): “2008), there is, overall, a greater focus on invasive vertebrates than invertebrates, and on large and charismatic species (Wilson et al. 2007).”
Climate‐induced changes in the distribution of freshwater fish: observed and predicted trends (2013, background): “However, most previous reviews could be biased towards restricted geographic locations or ‘iconic’ species of interest, thus limiting robust generalisations (Wilson et al., 2007).”
Geographical and taxonomic biases in invasion ecology. (2008, background): “Because there are still large taxonomic and geographical gaps in ecological research in general [ 8 ], one might ask whether current knowledge in invasion ecology is taxonomically and/or geographically biased.”
