Invasibility: the Local mechanism driving community assembly and species diversity (2005, background): “…intentional and unintentional spread of species by humans has substantially increased the diversity of species pools in many regions of the world (Rosenzweig 2001, Sax et al. 2002, Davis 2003), which has resulted in increases in the diversity of many local communities within those regions (Rahel…”
Nonindigenous Species of the Pacific Northwest: An Overlooked Risk to Endangered Salmon? (2009, background): “This all-H-centric view has largely ignored the impacts of key NIS in Pacific Northwest watersheds, which may rival the detrimental effects of the all-H’s (Ruckelshaus et al. 2002).”
What is the “real” impact of invasive plant species? (2013, background): “322 www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America As a consequence of globalization and the large-scalemixing of biota, invasive species are now one of the primary components of the Anthropocene (Rosenzweig 2001).”
Biotic Globalization: Does Competition from Introduced Species Threaten Biodiversity? (2003, methodology): “The biogeographic analysis and data presented here and elsewhere (Mooney and Cleland 2001, Rosenzweig 2001, Chave et al. 2002, Sax et al. 2002) suggest that ecologists and habitat managers striving to protect and maximize biodiversity will be able to maximize their effectiveness by focusing…”
Introduction: Population Biology, Evolution, and Control of Invasive Species (2003, background): “Rosenzweig (2001) agrees that invasions may reduce diversity, but he argues that evolution can compensate for this in the long run so that the impact may be exaggerated.”
Impacts of alien plant invasions on species richness in Mediterranean-type ecosystems: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “However, some authors argue that the number of naturalized species far exceeds the number of extinctions and that, on balance, introductions over the past few centuries has increased regional biodiversity levels (Rosenzweig, 2001; Davis, 2003; Brown and Sax, 2004; Gurevitch and Padilla, 2004; Houlah”
Invasive Exotic Plants in the Tropical Pacific Islands: Patterns of Diversity (2009, background): “…equilibrium number of species toward higher species richness; there is no basis, in island-biogeographic theory at least, to hypothesize a local loss in indigenous species as a result of exotic species establishments, although there may eventually be a global decline in diversity (Rosenzweig 2001).”
Insects on Plants: Diversity of Herbivore Assemblages Revisited (2005, background): “However, habitat loss, especially in megadiverse tropical areas, is by far the major and most immediate menace to biotic diversity (Myers et al. 2000, Rosenzweig 2001).”
