Distribution of alien vs. native plant species in roadside communities along an altitudinal gradient in Tenerife and Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) (2005, background): “Strong variation in altitude and aspect, which define local mesoclimatic zones, and land use, are primary factors in structuring both native and alien plant communities on the higher Canary Islands (Fernández-Palacios and de Nicolás, 1995; Whittaker, 1998; Silva and Smith, 2004).”
Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, background): “Compiling alien species for a given country has proved to be a useful approach to understanding plant invasion patterns (Rozefelds et al. 1999; Stadler et al. 2000; Silva and Smith 2004; Khuroo et al. 2007) and is the first step towards developing a management strategy for invasive species.”
A global comparison of plant invasions on oceanic islands (2010, background): “In contrast, among naturalized species (including weeds) only 60% (Hawaii, Wester, 1992) or 45% (Azores, Silva and Smith, 2004) were deliberately introduced.”
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): “In some oceanic island groups (e.g. the Azores, New Zealand), aliens are already locally dominant in taxonomic terms (Wilson et al., 2000; Silva & Smith, 2004).”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “For instance, in the Azorean islands 70% of current flora consists of exotic species (Dias, 1996; Silva, 2001; Silva & Smith, 2004), and about 58% of the arthropod fauna is also composed of exotic species (Borges et al., 2005a).”
Plant invasions in Taiwan: Insights from the flora of casual and naturalized alien species (2004, background): “Alien floras with adequate information on origin, life form, habit, mode of introduction, and invasion status are rather rare (Py s ek et al ., 2004; Silva & Smith, 2004).”
The alien flora of Kashmir Himalaya (2007, background): “AMN; AMS A Ui Cn 1700–1900 Stewart (1972) Datura meteloides Dunal AMS P Ui Cn 1700–1900 Stewart (1972) Datura stramonium L.”
A spatial scale assessment of habitat effects on arthropod communities of an oceanic island (2009, background): “The fragments, varying in size from 4 to 1000 ha, are often disturbed by the invasion of introduced species (Silva and Smith, 2004; Borges et al., 2006).”
