Fifty years later: trophic ecology and niche overlap of a native and non-indigenous fish species in the western basin of Lake Erie (2013, background): “Many successful NIS are classified as trophic generalists (Marvier et al. 2004), characterized by their wide ecological tolerance and diets, allowing them to be highly successful in new habitats (Sax and Brown 2000; Polo-Cavia et al. 2008).”
NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, background): “…a transformation of ecosystem properties to conditions more favorable to invasive conspecifics would represent a potential mechanistic explanation for the ‘‘lag phase’’ (Hobbs and Humphries 1995, Sax and Brown 2000) common between establishment of exotic species and actual invasion outbreaks.”
Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility (2006, background): “The inherent superiority, acquired through evolutionary time, of dominant mainland species from species-rich regions has been suggested as one factor contributing to the high invasibility of islands, and as an explanation for the apparent paradox that introduced species can displace native species t”
Competition, seed limitation, disturbance, and reestablishment of California native annual forbs (2003, background): “…native annuals were the dominant species in these systems due to the continual perturbation of the soil by animals and the vagaries of the climate (as suggested by Schiffman 2000), the establishment of dense stands of perennial grasses would not constitute a successful restoration of the community.”
MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions (2020, background): “2013) and supports the notion that abundant, widely distributed species are superior competitors due to their ability, acquired over evolutionary history, to tolerate a wide range of abiotic conditions, use a broad spectrum of resources, and resist a large number of potential enemies (Sax and Brown ”
Popularity and Propagule Pressure: Determinants of Introduction and Establishment of Aquarium Fish (2006, background): “Likelihood of extinction presumably is greater at small population sizes due both to demographic and environmental stochasticity (Sax and Brown 2000; Duncan et al. 2003).”
Recent changes in the distribution of a marine gastropod, Patella rustica Linnaeus, 1758, and their relationship to unusual climatic events (2006, background): “Although not easily identifiable, this phenomenon is probably more frequent than assumed (Sax & Brown, 2000; Zacherl et al., 2003), and is a more likely explanation for the maintenance of the gap under conditions that favour larval transport from Galicia.”
Origin and genetic diversity of mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) introduced to Europe (2010, unknown): “(Sax and Brown 2000; Allendorf and Lundquist 2003); and (2) why do invasive species flourish despite reduced genetic diversity in the recipient region?”
The role of eco-evolutionary experience in invasion success (2013, unknown): “Scientific awareness of evolutionary aspects in biological invasions has increased in the last decade (Sax and Brown 2000, Sakai et al. 2001, Hänfling and Kollmann 2002, Lee 2002, Sax et al. 2005, 2007, Facon et al. 2006, Kondoh 2006, Hufbauer and Torchin 2007).”
Latitudinal gradients and geographic ranges of exotic species: implications for biogeography (2001, background): “Of those species that have been introduced, only a subset establish self-sustaining populations in the absence of direct human intervention, i.e. become naturalized (Richardson et al., 2000; Sax & Brown, 2000).”
Human influences on rates of phenotypic change in wild animal populations (2008, background): “Winnowing seems likely given that humans cause the extinction of many populations and species (Pimm et al . 1995; Hughes et al . 1997), that human-mediated introductions often fail (Williamson & Fitter 1996; Sax & Brown 2000 ), and that extinction is more likely for populations that are less capabl”
Predicting the Identity of Plant Invaders: Future Contributions from Horticulture (2005, background): “To an unknown extent however a species may go through recurring immigrations into a new locale before eventually persisting (Mack, 1995; Sax and Brown, 2000; Veltman et al., 1996).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “There are many management strategies for increasing diversity of associated species (e.g., Hanson et al. 1991, Pimentel et al. 1992), which is often important for biodiversity value itself.”
Ecology and genetics of tree invasions: from recent introductions to Quaternary migrations (2004, background): “Studies of the early phase of colonization have shown that there is an initial lag phase before population sizes really take off (Sax and Brown, 2000).”
