Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “…have been proposed to explain why exotic plants successfully invade natural communities, including the release of natural enemies of exotics (Keane & Crawley 2002), allelopathic effects of exotics on native plants (Hierro & Callaway 2003; Callaway & Ridenour 2004) and resource opportunities…”
The biogeography of naturalization in alien plants (2006, background): “First, the question ‘Which species will invade and under which conditions?’ has stimulated the search for traits that separate successful from less successful invaders (the ‘species invasiveness issue’; Rejmánek & Richardson, 1996; Williamson & Fitter, 1996; Keane & Crawley, 2002).”
Increasing numbers and intercontinental spread of invasive insects on eucalypts (2016, neutral): “Many of these crops were likely initially free of diseases and herbivores which permitted rapid growth and high yields (Jeffries and Lawton 1984; Keane and Crawley 2002).”
Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) as a Biological Model in the Study of Plant Invasions (2004, background): “One explanation for increased aggressiveness is that introduced plants have left their natural herbivores behind in the native range, which allows resources allocated to anti-herbivore defense to be reallocated to reproduction and growth (Keane and Crawley, 2002; Mitchell and Power, 2003).”
Parasite establishment in host communities (2003, background): “Parasite loss may explain the success of invaders at the expense of native species (Elton 1958; Dobson 1988; Keane & Crawley 2002; Torchin et al. 2002), so parasite persistence has important repercussions for community structure.”
Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “Although this enemy release hypothesis (ERH) has been tested for many species (see review by Keane and Crawley 2002 ), further studies are still needed to test for ERH in relation to fitness differences in Spartina”
Barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs) preserved in herbarium specimens illuminate historical disease ecology of invasive and native grasses (2007, background): “The success of these invaders is sometimes explained by the enemy release hypothesis, which predicts that introduced plants become invasive when they escape constraints imposed by pathogens and predators in their home ranges (Keane & Crawley 2002; Colautti et al .”
Minimum residence time, biogeographical origin, and life cycle as determinants of the geographical extent of naturalized plants in continental Chile (2005, background): “…2000; Troumbis et al ., 2002; Kennedy et al ., 2002), attributes of the native populations that interact with the exotics (Zavaleta et al ., 2001; Keane & Crawley, 2002), and patterns of landscape disturbance and soil use (D’Antonio & Vitousek, 1992; Mack & D’Antonio, 1998; Dukes & Mooney, 1999;…”
Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species' Range Shifts (2012, background): “Van der Putten”
DOES ALLELOPATHY CONTRIBUTE TO CYLINDROSPERMOPSIS RACIBORSKII (CYANOBACTERIA) BLOOM OCCURRENCE AND GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION? 1 (2007, background): “…potential plant invaders generally have greater competitive ability than native species, such as higher nutrient-assimilation rates; lower interspecific competition, which allows them to maintain populations at high densities; and often, resistance to local predators (Keane and Crawley 2002).”
Dispersal and demography contributions to population spread of Carduus nutans in its native and invaded ranges (2008, background): “There are many possible reasons why a species may become invasive after arrival in a new area outside its native range ( Keane & Crawley 2002; Lee 2002; Shea & Chesson 2002; Muller-Scharer et al . 2004; Hierro et al . 2005).”
Invasive plants and their escape from root herbivory: a worldwide comparison of the root-feeding nematode communities of the dune grass Ammophila arenaria in natural and introduced ranges (2005, background): “Some strategies to control invasive species are based on the enemy escape hypothesis, which assumes invasiveness to be due to the release of invasive species from their natural enemies (Keane and Crawley 2002).”
General hypotheses in invasion ecology (2014, background): “According to the enemy release hypothesis, the absence of enemies in the exotic range is a cause of invasion success (Maron & Vil a, 2001; Keane & Crawley, 2002; Jeschke et al., 2012a,b; Heger & Jeschke, 2014).”
