Effects of Climate Change on Invasive Species (2021, background): “Meanwhile, native plants may experience “migration lag” to climate change (sensu Corlett and Westcott 2013), which is likely to put them at a competitive disadvantage, thereby creating vegetation gaps potentially filled by introduced species.”
Invasive grasses: A new perfect storm for forested ecosystems? (2020, background): “mate change scenarios (Loarie et al., 2009; Corlett and Westcott, 2013; Kerns et al., 2016), with many areas/regions projected to enter climates without recent analogs (Williams et al.”
Mountain roads shift native and non‐native plant species' ranges (2017, background): “Several studies warn of rapid area loss for endemic high-elevation species (Pauli et al. 2007, Jump et al. 2012), and a failure of lower elevation species to migrate upwards to track climate change (Bertrand et al. 2011, Corlett and Westcott 2013).”
Forest structure and species traits mediate projected recruitment declines in western US tree species (2015, background): “Our understanding of dispersal and establishment is rife with uncertainty (Corlett & Westcott, 2013) and our results suggest that stabilizing processes are important and rarely considered.”
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): “Balancing the costs and benefits of species introductions is not a new concept as there has long been a trade-off between regulation vs. facilitation of species movement (Yokomizo et al. 2012; Corlett & Westcott 2013).”
Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “Non-frugivorous birds likely reduce the need for the managed translocation of plants foreseen by Corlett and Westcott (2013).”
Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge (2015, background): “This can be a deleterious or at least strongly filtering factor (Norberg et al., 2012; Urban et al., 2012; Corlett and Westcott, 2013).”
