The role of intraspecific hybridization in the evolution of invasiveness: a case study of the ornamental pear tree Pyrus calleryana (2009, background): “…levels of genetic variation, especially if the parental populations each experienced separate genetic bottlenecks or founder events that lowered levels of variation within their respective populations (Husband and Barrett 1991; Cox 2004; Novak and Mack 2005; but see Roman and Darling 2007).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “2001), and should therefore play an important role in determining its potential to become invasive (Lee 2002; Kolbe et al. 2004; Drake and Lodge 2006; Facon et al. 2006; Lavergne and Molofsky 2007; Roman and Darling 2007).”
Origin and genetic diversity of mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) introduced to Europe (2010, positive): “This increased genetic diversity within populations has also been found in several other introduced species (Kolbe et al. 2004), resulting from a combination of multiple local introductions of several origins and numerous translocations from these sites of introduction (Roman and Darling 2007).”
A hitchhiker’s guide to the Maritimes: anthropogenic transport facilitates long‐distance dispersal of an invasive marine crab to Newfoundland (2010, background): “…increase following initial bottlenecks could allow colonizing populations to avoid significant losses of diversity relative to their sources, a further sign that invasive species need not exhibit characteristics typical of small founding populations (Roman & Darling, 2007; Wilson et al., 2009).”
Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences (2016, background): “This is despite myriad examples of widespread ecological success of species that are either exclusively asexual, parthenogenetic, or have experienced severe bottlenecks postintroduction into a new range (Roman and Darling 2007).”
Reconstructing routes of invasion using genetic data: why, how and so what? (2010, background): “…quiquefasciatus (Fonseca et al. 2000), the amphipod Gammarus tigrinus (Kelly et al. 2006) and other cases reported elsewhere (Bossdorf et al. 2005; Roman & Darling 2007; Geller et al. 2010), together with the worldwide spread of D. virgifera virgifera, suggest that multiple introductions of…”
Multiple introductions and invasion pathways for the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Eurasia (2011, background): “…that multiple introductions from different sources and/or major introduction events involving high propagule pressure can mitigate the effects of genetic bottlenecks during colonization (Roman 2006; Roman and Darling 2007; Taylor and Keller 2007; Dlugosch and Parker 2008; Gillis et al. 2009).”
Marine range shifts and species introductions: comparative spread rates and community impacts (2010, background): “…populations, and propagule pressure, or the total number and quality of individuals relocated, is one of the best predictors of introduced species establishment (Cassey et al., 2005; Hayes & Barry, 2008) and faster spread rates (Mack et al., 2000; Lockwood et al., 2005; Roman & Darling, 2007).”
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Biological Invasions (2009, background): “Roman & Darling (2007) reviewed evidence from 43 aquatic and marine invaders and found that 27 of them did not have significantly reduced genetic diversity in their introduced ranges; of these, at least 14 had multiple introduction events, and for at least 3 species arrival of propagules has been…”
The elephant in the room: the role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology (2013, background): “Finally, genetic data for failures can improve our understanding of factors typically associated with invasion failures but with little direct evidence supporting their importance, such as bottlenecks (Fridley et al. 2007, Roman and Darling 2007).”
Phylogeography of the widespread marine invader Microcosmus squamiger (Ascidiacea) reveals high genetic diversity of introduced populations and non‐independent colonizations (2008, background): “Human-mediated transport (Roman & Darling, 2007) can enhance both the number of individuals reaching new areas and the probability of multiple introductions, which consequently increases genetic variability and reduces the bottleneck effect caused by the colonizing event.”
Saving camels from straws: how propagule pressure-based prevention policies can reduce the risk of biological invasion (2008, background): “Probability models and field studies indicate a direct correlation between propagule pressure and levels of genetic variation within the introduced population (Lockwood et al. 2005; Meyerson and Mooney 2007; Roman and Darling 2007).”
Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea (2012, positive): “High propagule pressure and repeated introductions can provide a supply of new genetic material and limit the reduction in genetic variance due to bottlenecks (Roman & Darling 2007; Prentis et al. 2008; Simberloff 2009).”
Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “It has been shown that such low levels of genetic diversity do not generally compromise population establishment and the spread of non-indigenous species (Roman and Darling 2007).”
No rest for the laurels: symbiotic invaders cause unprecedented damage to southern USA forests (2017, background): “…hypothesized to increase invasiveness in certain taxa, such as water fleas and aquatic plants (Roman and Darling 2007) because it eliminates the ‘twofold cost of sex’ and Allee effects such as inbreeding depression and matefinding (Roman and Darling 2007; Fisher et al. 2012; Engering et al. 2013).”
