Catalogue of alien plants of the Czech Republic (3rd edition) (2022, background): “…from the variable depth of their knowledge, intensity of research into alien species, or whether apomictic species are included in comparisons (see Williamson 2002, Pyšek et al. 2002 and discussion therein), the proportion given here seems to reasonably reflect situation in countries with…”
A century of the ornamental plant trade and its impact on invasion success (2007, background): “Native species, species found outside cultivation anywhere in the British Isles, and species appearing twice in the list as synonyms were excluded, resulting in a set of 392 non-invading species.”
A pan-European inventory of alien species: rationale, implementation and implications for managing biological invasions. (2009, background): “The strongest evidence is for alien pest and weeds that impact upon the agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and other sectors (Williamson, 2002).”
Neophytes in Austria: Habitat preferences and ecological effects (2005, background): “On the British Isles, 39 species are considered “pests”, 11 of which have severe ecological impacts (Williamson 2002).”
The lognormal distribution is not an appropriate null hypothesis for the species–abundance distribution (2005, background): “Range-size distributions for various groups in Europe do go down to a size of one hectad (100 km2), the sampling unit, but such singletons are not the most common observation, as is seen easily in area dominance (or rank range distribution) plots (Gaston et al. 1998; Williamson & Gaston 1999; Willia”
Conifers as invasive aliens: a global survey and predictive framework (2004, result): “This view is supported by recent analyses of seed plant invasiveness, especially in the northern hemisphere (Protopopova, 1991; Hämet-Ahti et al., 1992; Simpson, 1992; (Table 7); Clement & Foster, 1994; Reichard, 1994; but see PyÍek, 1998).”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Robinia pseudoacacia (2013, background): “…ornamental tree, R. pseudoacacia has been widely planted and is now well-established in the southern parts of the British Isles and continental Europe (Clement & Foster 1994; Kowarik 2010), being one of the three most widely distributed non-native plant species in Europe (Lambdon et al. 2008).”
