Avoiding surprise effects on Surprise Island: alien species control in a multitrophic level perspective (2009, background): “The first is that study of the recovery of an invaded ecosystem may provide crucial data to deepen our knowledge of biological invasions (Walker 1998; Myers et al. 2000; Sakai et al. 2001; Sax et al. 2007).”
Climatic niche shifts between species' native and naturalized ranges raise concern for ecological forecasts during invasions and climate change (2014, background): “majority of species, are not widespread, weedy or dominant in their current native distributions (Brown et al., 1996; Sax et al., 2007; Araújo et al., 2011).”
The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic alien and invasive species (2015, background): “Biological invasions provide opportunities for empirical research across large spatial and temporal scales (Sax et al., 2007), addressing processes such as directed dispersal.”
Plantations of exotic tree species in Britain: irrelevant for biodiversity or novel habitat for native species? (2010, background): “Novel ecosystems yield novel assemblages, and these assemblages are likely to develop and change over time with changes in species complements and relative abundances (Sax et al. 2007).”
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Invasion Success (2009, background): “Risk analysis frameworks that are based on biological characteristics of the invasive propagules must be interpreted with caution, however, since marine invasive species may also display rapid adaptation and/or evolution to new conditions (Sax et al. 2007).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “It is only in recent years that biological invasions have become regarded as ‘‘natural experiments’’, offering unique insights into ecological and evolutionary processes occurring in real-time (Lee 2002; Sax et al. 2007), and increasingly, understanding these processes is seen as crucial for impleme”
General hypotheses in invasion ecology (2014, background): “As a consequence, studies testing this and many other invasion hypotheses can reveal insights that are not only relevant for invasion ecology but for ecology in general and other disciplines as well (Sax et al., 2005, 2007).”
Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “Still, some non-indigenous species can have “positive” ecological impacts in invaded habitats (Sax et al., 2007; Davis et al., 2011).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Studying biological invasions promises to both help mitigate impacts by invaders and better understand basic principles of ecology and evolution (Sax et al. 2007).”
Climate‐related, decadal‐scale assemblage changes of seagrass‐associated fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2010, background): “If warming persists and ‘southern’ species remain in seagrass habitats over many years, competition (for refuge or foraging space) may also change dramatically in response to the co-occurrance of temperate, subtropical, and tropical species (but see Sax et al., 2007).”
Growth and extremely high production of the non-indigenous invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774): Possible implications for ecosystem functioning (2008, background): “Therefore, measuring and predicting the impact of NIS deserves attention so that managers and stakeholders can prioritize efforts to prevent invasion or control the impacts of the invader (Sakai et al., 2001; Sax et al., 2007).”
Contrasting patterns and mechanisms of spatial turnover for native and exotic freshwater fish in Europe (2009, background): “As a result, ecologists are now required to reconcile the contrasting biogeographical histories of native and exotic species, which poses both a significant challenge and a unique opportunity to test long-standing theory in biogeography (Sax et al., 2007).”
