A native at home and abroad: the history, politics, ethics and aesthetics of acacias (2011, background): “Invasions can have impacts on the health and safety of humans, on crops and livestock, and on essential ecosystem services such as clean water and timber, or on broader extinctions (Davis, 2006; Davis, 2009: 101).”
The Rise and Fall of Biotic Nativeness: A Historical Perspective (2010, background): “Partitioning taxa into native and alien populations is a relatively modern practice, but it signifi - cantly predates invasion biology, which coalesced in the late 1980s (Davis 2006 ).”
Elton, C.S. 1958: The ecology of invasions by animals and plants. London: Methuen (2007, background): “The study of invasions of organisms following their transfer by humans to areas far outside the reach of natural dispersal mechanisms has grown enormously in recent decades and is now a prominent subdiscipline of ecology (Simberloff, 2004; Davis, 2006; Pyšek et al., 2006; Richardson and Pyšek, 2006;”
An alien approach to invasive species: objectivity and society in invasion biology (2007, background): “In fact, their proposal revisits the state of the field at the Asilomar conference on introduced species in 1964, where participants ‘‘did not consider conservation implications of species colonizations whatsoever’’ (Davis 2006, p. 37).”
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Biological Invasions (2009, methodology): “The SCOPE agenda set the research program in invasion biology for the next two decades (Davis 2006).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Although research on biological invasions has a long tradition, publications on this topic have been numerous only since the 1990s (Darwin 1859; Elton 1958; Cadotte 2006; Davis 2006; Richardson and Pyšek 2008).”
Current mismatch between research and conservation efforts: The need to study co-occurring invasive plant species (2013, background): “Historically, the focus of much invasion research has been on factors that characterize impacts of invasive species in their non-native ranges, with a strong emphasis on single-species invasions (Davis, 2006; Simberloff, 2011a).”
Fifty years of invasion ecology – the legacy of Charles Elton (2008, background): “Invasion ecology is the study of the human-mediated introduction of organisms, especially introductions to areas outside the potential range of given organisms as defined by their natural dispersal mechanisms and biogeographical barriers (Davis, 2006; Mack et al ., 2000; Richardson & Py s ek, 2006).”
Inventory of the non‐native flora of Italy (2009, background): “Owing to the dual need to control the spread of harmful invasive species and to provide new theoretical insights into evolutionary and ecological processes (Davis 2006 ), human‐driven biotic invasions have, ever since the classic work by Elton ( 1958 ), yielded an increasing number of studies publi”
