Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “The effectiveness of such legislation, however, has been questioned (Jenkins, 1996; Reichard, 1997; Schmitz and Simberloff, 1997; Manchester and Bullock, 2000; Reichard and White, 2001).”
Invasive alien plant species in China: regional distribution patterns (2005, background): “The paramount importance of deliberate and accidental introductions as a prerequisite for subsequent invasions has been stressed repeatedly (Reichard & White, 2001; Kowarik, 2003).”
Global change, global trade, and the next wave of plant invasions (2012, background): “Non-native plants introduced through the horticulture trade often become invasive (Mack and Lonsdale 2001; Reichard and White 2001), which we define here as introduced species whose populations are surviving and reproducing beyond the location of introduction (sensu Blackburn et al. 2011).”
Introduction bias: Cultivated alien plant species germinate faster and more abundantly than native species in Switzerland (2011, background): “The potential invasiveness of cultivated alien plants is of growing interest in the horticulturalliterature (e.g. Reichard & White 2001; Bell, Wilen, & Stanton 2003; Mack 2005).”
Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, background): “Ornamentals contributed most to the invasive plants, which has been found for other countries and at a global scale (Reichard and White 2001; Mack and Erneberg 2002; Weber 2003).”
Species Invasions from Commerce in Live Aquatic Organisms: Problems and Possible Solutions (2007, background): “Invasion risks are present for all trades that transport live organisms, including the aquaculture (Naylor et al. 2001), nursery plant (Reichard and White 2001, Maki and Galatowitsch 2004), live food (Weigle et al. 2005), pet (Rixon et al.”
The ecology, geopolitics, and economics of managing Lymantria dispar in the United States (2012, background): “The movement of goods can occasionally lead to the introduction of new species, such as: (i) insects and pathogens that hitch-hike within solid wood packaging materials or on imported plants (Reichard and White 2001; Brockerhoff et al. 2006; McCullough et al. 2006), and (ii) aquatic species that can”
Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “A classic analogy in terrestrial systems is the infiltration of ‘garden escapes’ into surrounding natural habitats whereby species introduced intentionally for their aesthetic qualities disperse into surrounding native habitats (Reichard & White 2001; Hulme 2011).”
The role of botanic gardens as resource and introduction centres in the face of global change (2011, background): “Invasive species have mostly been introduced for horticulture through nurseries, botanic gardens or individuals (Reichard and White 2001).”
Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity (2018, background): “Large and small ‘brick and mortar’ stores traditionally played a signiﬁcant role in the pet, aquarium and horticulture trade (Reichard & White, 2001; Padilla & Williams, 2004), often culminating in pet owners releasing unwanted organisms into natural waterbodies (Gertzen, Familiar & Leung, 2008).”
Biological invasions: recommendations for U.S. policy and management. (2006, background): “In contrast, management of invasive species in the United States is hindered by lack of an overarching federal regulatory authority, and lack of an established mechanism for federal, state, and local coordination.”
Effects of urbanization on species richness: A review of plants and animals (2008, background): “Humans import a diverse array of nonnative plants into cities for landscaping and other horticultural goals (Reichard and White 2001) so it may be that human importation of nonnative plants is also a main factor for the increased species richness of plants in urban habitats.”
From the backyard to the backcountry: how ecological and biological traits explain the escape of garden plants into Mediterranean old fields (2010, background): “Horticulture is now recognized as a major pathway for the introduction of alien terrestrial plants (Hodkinson and Thompson 1997; Reichard and White 2001; Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007a, b; Foxcroft et al. 2008; Křivánek and Pyšek 2008; Lambdon et al. 2008a).”
Economics of invasive species policy and management (2017, background): “2 Invasive plants have most often arrived as intentional horticultural or ornamental introductions, but also as crop seed contaminants (Reichard and White 2001; Pyšek et al. 2009).”
