HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “Although host shifts of introduced biocontrol agents to nontarget species appear to be rare (Van Klinken and Edwards 2002), there are a number of examples of genetically based shifts of native herbivores on to introduced hosts (Cox 1999, Keane and Crawley 2002).”
Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “The past few decades, and particularly recent years, have seen an increase in interest, among ecologists and others, in the problem of invasive species, as evidenced by a proliferation of major works treating of the subject (e.g., Elton, 1958; Baker and Stebbins, 1965; Groves and Burdon, 1986; Moone”
Do Alien Plants Reduce Insect Biomass? (2004, background): “A number of biotic and abiotic consequences of the large-scale replacement of native vegetation have been recognized (e.g., Randall 1996; Cox 1999; Levin 2002).”
Increased susceptibility to enemies following introduction in the invasive plant Silene latifolia (2004, background): “Despite the fact that biological invasions represent one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, we still know relatively little about their underlying causes (Cox 1999; Pimentel et al. 2000; Simons 2003).”
Population‐level declines in Australian predators caused by an invasive species (2009, background): “The susceptibility of native fauna to the impacts imposed by an invasive species may be related to their evolutionary experience with that invader (Cox, 1999; Ricciardi & Atkinson, 2004).”
VARIABLE EFFECTS OF FERAL PIG DISTURBANCES ON NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANTS IN A CALIFORNIA GRASSLAND (2004, background): “In the southwestern United States, grazing and trampling by feral burros reduced plant species richness and cover as well as small-mammal abundance (see Cox 1999).”
Distinctiveness magnifies the impact of biological invaders in aquatic ecosystems (2004, background): “A popular, but largely untested, hypothesis is that a community’s lack of evolutionary experience with invaders determines its vulnerability (Diamond & Case 1986; Cox 1999); therefore, the impact of an invader should be most severe in communities lacking similar species.”
Predicting the impacts of an introduced species from its invasion history: an empirical approach applied to zebra mussel invasions (2003, background): “…the most devastating terrestrial invasions have been of herbivorous insects and plant pathogens that were apparently benign or unimportant in their native habitats; these include the European and Asian gypsy moths, chestnut blight fungus, Dutch elm disease, and white pine blister rust (Cox, 1999).”
Temporal Changes in Native and Exotic Vegetation and Soil Characteristics following Disturbances by Feral Pigs in a California Grassland (2006, background): “In addition, Singer et al. (1984) found that pig-disturbed soils had elevated nitrate levels relative to adjacent undisturbed areas in deciduous forests of the southeastern U.S.”
Challenges for freshwater invertebrate conservation (2006, background): “Introductions of alien species are now widespread around the world (Cox 1999) and have begun to homogenize the freshwater fauna (Rahel 2002).”
EVALUATION OF A MULTIPLE‐SPECIES APPROACH TO MONITORING SPECIES AT THE ECOREGIONAL SCALE (2004, background): “Exotic species, particularly aggressive invasives, can have severe impacts on the biological integrity of an ecosystem (Soulé 1990, Graber 1996, Cox 1999).”
Now you See them, Now you don't! – Population Crashes of Established Introduced Species (2004, background): “Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) were imported by the thousands into the United States in the first half of the 20th century, and many aviculturists reared them in Florida (Pranty 2001).”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “functionally distinctive species, which often have large ecological effects in insular ecosystems (Vitousek, 1990; Cox, 1999; Lockwood et al., 2007) such as remote lakes and drainage basins.”
Adaptability of plants invading North American cropland (2004, background): “When outcrossing among individuals derived from different introductions occurs in predominantly selfing species, the effect on genetic variability will depend on the number of introductions to North America, and the interpopulation variability in their source areas ( Cox, 1999).”
Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Natural ecosystems and their component species are experiencing catastrophic and rapid loss as habitat is destroyed for human use and invaded by species from other biogeographical areas (Simberloff et al., 1997; Cox, 1999; Lockwood et al., 2006).”
Changes in forest structure and species composition following invasion by a non-indigenous shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) (2008, background): “This pattern of poor performance for certain tree species below ferns may be due to a number of factors including light reduction, a difficult-to-penetrate frond layer, and possible alterations in the behavior of seed predators below ferns (Cox 1999).”
Kudzu (Pueraria montana): History, Physiology, and Ecology Combine to Make a Major Ecosystem Threat (2004, background): “This lack of quantitative data and predominance of anecdotal data is common for many invasive species (Cox, 1999; Dukes and Mooney, 1999; Mack et al., 2000; Mooney and Cleland, 2001; Carey, 2002; Daehler, 2003; Drake et al., 2003; Olden et al., 2004).”
Characterizing ecosystem‐level consequences of biological invasions: the role of ecosystem engineers (2002, background): “Exotics can have genetic effects through hybridization or altering gene flow of native species, and at larger spatiotemporal scales they homogenize biotas across biogeographic realms and alter evolutionary pathways (Carroll and Dingle 1996, Williamson 1996, Cox 1999).”
