Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “…23 Australian Acacia species (a group of 1012 species in Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae native to Australia; see Miller et al., 2011 for taxonomic details) are major or emerging invaders in many parts of the world (Castro-Dı́ez et al., 2011; Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011; Richardson et al., 2011).”
Conflicting values: ecosystem services and invasive tree management (2013, background): “At the same time, many non-native tree species have naturalized and subsequently become invasive in their introduced range, and are now considered to be among the worst environmental threats facing many ecosystems around the world (Levine et al. 2003; Richardson and Rejmánek 2011).”
Mapping the Global Potential Geographical Distribution of Black Locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia L.) Using Herbarium Data and a Maximum Entropy Model (2014, background): “However, it acts as a harmful invasive species in some parts of the world, for example in Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan and New Zealand [8–10].”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “Indeed, for invasive trees and shrubs listed by Richardson and Rejmánek (2011) in their global review of invasive woody plants for which data on ploidal levels are available (n ¼ 54; Appendix), the number of known ploidal levels within particular taxa is significantly positively correlated with…”
Response of soil microbial community dynamics to Robinia pseudoacacia L. afforestation in the loess plateau: a chronosequence approach (2018, background): “Due to its broad habitat range and high spreading ab i l i ty o f roo t and t runk copp ice shoo t s , R. pseudoacacia has been classified as a highly invasive spec ies (Richardson and Rejmanek 2011) .”
Hotspots of plant invasion predicted by propagule pressure and ecosystem characteristics (2011, neutral): “…ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/ddi 1099 A J ou rn al o f Co ns er va ti D iv er si ty a nd D is tr ib ut io ns assessment of invasive woody plants, Richardson & Rejmánek (2011) consider 622 species to be ‘invasive’ sensu Pyšek et al. (2004).”
Risk assessment, eradication, and biological control: global efforts to limit Australian acacia invasions (2011, background): “…placed in Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae DC. that are native to Australia; see discussion in Richardson et al., 2011; Murphy et al., 2010; Miller et al., 2011) are a group of leguminous woody plants that include some of the most important plant invaders globally (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011).”
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world: progress and challenges (2017, background): “radiata are among the most invasive Pinaceae species, which is consistent with evidence from around the world (Richardson et al. 1990, 1994; Ledgard 2001; Simberloff et al. 2010; Richardson and Rejmánek 2011; Rejmánek and Richardson 2013; Taylor et al. 2016).”
The elephant in the room: the role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology (2013, background): “However, it is also known that the numbers of species introduced through different dispersal pathways vary greatly (Richardson and Rejmánek 2011), and most studies on the topic include only records of naturalization and invasion (Harris et al.”
Phylogeographic consequences of different introduction histories of invasive Australian Acacia species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Fabaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “Richardson & Rejmánek (2011) list 123 woody legumes that qualify as ‘invasive’ following the criteria of Pyšek et al. (2004).”
Plant invasions on small Mediterranean islands: An overview (2016, background): “…noteworthy example of the taxa that have displayed an overall higher rate of escape, establishment and spread is the genus Acacia (Figure 3; Tables 1–3), a group of the Fabaceae family that includes some of the leading plant invaders in the world (Richardson & Rejmánek 2011; Rouget et al.”
Ecophysiological traits associated with the competitive ability of invasive Australian acacias (2011, positive): “Of the c. 300 Australian Acacia spp. introduced around the world, 23 have become highly invasive (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011), particularly in Mediterranean-type ecosystems that are often water- and/or nutrient limited such as the South African Cape Floristic Region (CFR) or Portuguese dune…”
Human‐mediated introductions of Australian acacias – a global experiment in biogeography (2011, background): “Of these, Acacia and Pinus are particularly well represented in global lists of invasive alien species (those that have spread from introduction sites in novel environments) (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011).”
