• Establishment of non-native plant species after wildfires: effects of fuel treatments, abiotic and biotic factors, and post-fire grass seeding treatments. (2006, background): “Often, high cover of a dominant species can deter establishment of other species, both native and non-native (Smith et al. 2004).”
• Impact of invasive plants on the species richness, diversity and composition of invaded communities (2009, background): “However, changes in species evenness may influence invasion resistance, productivity and local plant extinction rates (Wilsey & Potvin 2000, Smith et al. 2004).”
• Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “…in native Kansas grassland (not a biodiversity experiment) found that removing many rare plant species did not change the invasion success of a legume species and that reducing the biomass of the dominant perennial C4 grasses reduced the invasion success of this legume (Smith et al. 2004).”
• Biodiversity and extinction: the importance of being common (2008, background): “…changes in the abundance of dominant grassland plant species variously increased and decreased susceptibility to invasion (Burke and Grime, 1996; Smith et al., 2004); (3) natural declines and experimental removal of a common detrital-feeding riverine fish increased downstream transport of…”
• Assessing the impact of Impatiens glandulifera on riparian habitats: partitioning diversity components following species removal (2005, background): “The focus of invasive species impacts has been primarily on richness (Levine et al . 2003) yet changes in species evenness may influence invasion resistance, productivity and local plant extinction rates (Wilsey & Potvin 2000; Smith et al . 2004 ).”
• Limiting similarity between invaders and dominant species in herbaceous plant communities? (2007, background): “Many studies of invasibility summarize invasion based on the establishment success of a single, often non-native, species (e.g. Robinson et al. 1995; Smith et al. 2004).”
• Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, background): “Smith et al. (2004) found that native dominants increased seedling establishment of the invasive Melilotus officinalis in a relatively productive North American grassland.”
• Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “2002), or reduction in the biomass of clonal dominants (Smith et al. 2004), found that dominance rather than richness, most strongly influenced invasion.”
• The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “Experimental approaches to the paradox are of limited duration, spatial grain, and spatial extent (Stachowicz et al. 1999, 2002, Levine 2000, Naeem et al. 2000, Fargione et al. 2003, Smith et al. 2004, Fargione and Tilman 2005).”
• Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “…of invasibility often provide contradictory results in which species richness and dominance facilitate or impede the invasion success of introduced species (Mack et al., 2000; Kolar & Lodge, 2001; Moore et al., 2001; Rosenzweig, 2001; Kennedy et al., 2002; Bruno et al., 2003; Smith et al., 2004).”
• Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, background): “In contrast, high dominance may enhance seedling emergence in some grasslands (Wilsey & Polley 2002; Smith et al. 2004).”
• Species richness and evenness respond in a different manner to propagule density in developing prairie microcosm communities (2007, unknown): “mentally reduced evenness (or higher dominance) was found to significantly affect the number of individuals entering grassland plots (Foster et al. 2002; Wilsey and Polley 2002; Smith et al. 2004), and was found to be highly correlated with H¢ in restoration plots (Baer et al.”
