A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, result): “In contrast, experiments using synthetic assemblages that vary in diversity have usually shown the opposite pattern, with more diverse assemblages being less invasible (Knops et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2001; Dukes 2002; Stachowicz et al. 2002; but see Palmer & Maurer 1997).”
Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “…diversity is also commonly (although not always) found within basal trophic levels in both aquatic and terrestrial systems (Hector et al. 1999, Naeem et al. 2000, Tilman et al. 2001, Stachowicz et al. 2002), suggesting that a positive relationship between diversity and resource use commonly occurs.”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “…such as vegetation or coral, can pre-empt space that may otherwise be rapidly colonised by non-native species, potentially slowing their range expansion, whilst also preserving native biodiversity (e.g. Stachowicz et al., 2002; Perkol-Finkel et al., 2012; Ng et al., 2015; Ferrario et al., 2016).”
Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, background): “…function studies have been carried out by comparing species richness across sites or experimentally manipulating the number of species locally (Stachowicz et al. 2002, Duffy et al. 2003, Raffaelli et al. 2003), generally by random removal of species (but see Solan et al. 2004).”
Marine invasions on a subtropical island: Fouling studies and new records in a recent marina on Madeira Island (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2013, background): “For example, in a study to assess the effects of diversity on the invasion of sea squirts in a fouling community, Stachowicz et al. (2002) observed a decline in native diversity as the abundance of invaders increased over time.”
Starting the invasion pathway: the interaction between source populations and human transport vectors (2005, background): “While natural ecological assemblages can limit the opportunities for an invader to become established in any particular location by sequestering critical resources ( Stachowicz et al. 2002 ), this resistance and the availability of resources for establishment are likely to be spatially and temporall”
Fifty years of change in northern upland forest understories: Identity and traits of “winner” and “loser” plant species (2006, background): “Functional homogenization has received little recognition (Olden et al., 2004) but has strong implications for ecosystem function, stability, and resilience (Diaz and Cabido, 2001; Sankaran and McNaughton, 1999; Stachowicz et al., 2002).”
Changes in four complementary facets of fish diversity in a tropical coastal lagoon after 18 years: a functional interpretation (2005, background): “The susceptibility of communities to species invasions has also been related to niche processes in both marine and terrestrial ecosystems (Dukes 2002, Stachowicz et al. 2002).”
The Roles of Competition and Disturbance in a Marine Invasion (2006, background): “Seagrass declines have been attributed to a number of factors, including coastal development, sediment and nutrient loading, and disease ( Short and Wyllie-Echeverria 1996; Williams and Davis 1996; Green and Short 2003).”
Why biodiversity is important to the functioning of real‐world ecosystems (2009, background): “…discrepancy between experi- ments and field patterns for land plants is not seen in some marine benthic systems, where the greater impacts of diverse assemblages on invaders and on prey are consistent with patterns in the field (Stachowicz et al. 2002; Byrnes et al. 2006; see also Figure 3).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “By increasing local biodiversity Pacific oysters may, alternatively, decrease the success of future invasions from regions other than the NW Pacific coasts (Stachowicz et al., 1999; Stachowicz et al., 2002).”
Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “…type of organism, and experiments have indeed shown that species richness also enhances efficiency of resource use by sessile marine invertebrates (Stachow- icz et al. 1999, 2002), stream suspension feeders (Cardinale et al. 2002), mobile grazers (Naeem & Li 1998, Duffy et al. 2003), aquatic…”
Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “In addition, alternation of natural communities caused by various human activities can largely reduce species richness and biodiversity, potentially increasing community vulnerability to invasion (Stachowicz et al. 2002).”
