The potential role of polyploidy and hybridisation in the further evolution of the highly invasive Fallopia taxa in Europe (2007, background): “Biological invasions have been recognized as being one of the main components of global change (Vitousek 1994; Shea and Chesson 2002) that affects populations, communities, and even whole ecosystems (Drake et al. 1989).”
Hybridization and extinction (2016, background): “Strategies that maintain or restore mature and diverse communities can contribute as well, because they not only enhance community resistance to invasions (Shea and Chesson 2002; Rejm anek et al. 2005), but they also reduce the likelihood of hybrid establishment.”
Using ecological restoration to constrain biological invasion (2004, background): “This supports the idea that successful invaders replace native species in their niches rather than invading empty niches ( Shea & Chesson 2002 ).”
Biotic resistance and facilitation of a non-native oyster on rocky shores (2007, background): “This biotic resistance could arise because many ecological roles are already filled, so that a new species experiences strong competition and predation (Crawley 1986, Lodge 1993, Mack 1996, Shea & Chesson 2002), or because resources are diverse and difficult to monopolize (Burdon 1987).”
Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “Diverse mechanisms 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 opp”
Niche Partitioning Among White-Lipped Peccaries (Tayassu pecari), Collared Peccaries (Pecari tajacu), and Feral Pigs (Sus Scrofa) (2009, background): “For this reason, the introduction of an exotic species within a community of native species will often have a disastrous impact (Shea and Chesson 2002; Simberloff 2003).”
Plant invasions and the niche (2009, neutral): “Novel niches Invader is better able to exploit new niches created by anthropogenic changes Shea & Chesson (2002) †; MacDougall & Turkington (2005)*”
Fundamentals of Microbial Community Resistance and Resilience (2012, background): “…larger organisms, a well-known consequence of community disturbance is reduced resistance to invasion by alien species (called “niche opportunity”; Shea and Chesson, 2002), but its parallel use as a functional indicator of stability in microbial communities has been limited, with a few…”
Fish fauna destruction after the introduction of a non-native predator (Cichla kelberi) in a Neotropical reservoir (2009, background): “Some authors have discussed that colonization and impacts caused by non-native species emerge from complex processes, usually in association with other environmental disturbances (Moyle and Light 1996; Byers 2002; Shea and Chesson 2002).”
Assessing impacts of introduced aquaculture species on native fish communities: Nile tilapia and major carps in SE Asian freshwaters (2010, background): “Communities that can integrate additional species in this way may be viewed as offering ‘unused niche opportunities’ that the introduced species can utilize (Williamson, 1996; Shea and Chesson, 2002).”
