• Genetic uniformity of Alternanthera philoxeroides in South China (2003, background): “964) (Meekins et al., 2001) and Pilosella officinarum F.”
• Impacts of Garlic Mustard Invasion on a Forest Understory Community (2007, background): “…northeastern United States from Europe in the mid-1800s (Nuzzo 1993), and its native habitat consists of hedges, semi-shaded floodplain, and forest-edge sites, preferring intermediate light and soil moisture levels to extremely shaded or dry sites (Dhillion and Anderson 1999, Meekins et al. 2001).”
• Ready or Not, Garlic Mustard Is Moving In: Alliaria petiolata as a Member of Eastern North American Forests (2008, background): “In two hardwood forests in Illinois, garlic mustard plants reach their maximum photosynthetic rates during the early spring of their second growing season, a period when most native plants are still dormant (Myers and Anderson 2003).”
• The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “Other examples include work on Butomus umbellatus (Kliber & Eckert 2005), Capsella bursa-pastoris (Neuffer & Hurka 1999), Alliaria petiolata (Meekins et al. 2001) and introduced populations of Epipactis helleborine (Squirrell et al. 2001).”
• Reduced competitive ability in an invasive plant (2004, methodology): “However, we think that this explanation is rather unlikely as Alliaria has a high selfing rate (Anderson et al. 1996) with low withinpopulation genetic variation in both its introduced and native range (Meekins et al. 2001; O. Bossdorf, unpublished data).”
