• Invasive Exotic Plants in the Tropical Pacific Islands: Patterns of Diversity (2009, background): “Native species diversity was a good predictor for numbers of PIER-listed species as it has been for numbers of non-native species in other studies (e.g., Levine & D’Antonio 1999, Lonsdale 1999, Stohlgren et al. 1999, Levine 2000, Richardson et al. 2005).”
• Invasive Alien Species in an Era of Globalization (2007, background): “Filling information gaps Recent work has synthesized large, non-native species datasets to report globally (eg Global Compendium of Weeds; www.hear.org/gcw) and nationally (eg Czech Republic: Pysek et al. 2002; Kfivanek and Py~ek in press; Germany: Klotz et al. 2002; South Africa: Richardson et al. ”
• Resolving Darwin’s naturalization conundrum: a quest for evidence (2010, background): “…species traits make introduced species more likely to become invaders (Rejmánek, 1995; Thuiller et al., 2006; Pyšek & Richardson, 2007)? and (2) why are some natural communities more prone to invasion than others (Davis et al., 2000; Levine et al., 2004; Tilman, 2004; Richardson et al., 2005)?”
• Widespread plant species: natives versus aliens in our changing world (2011, background): “We still do not know why some areas are more easily invaded than others ( Richardson et al. 2005; Chytry ´ et al. 2008).”
• Overstorey tree species regulate colonization by native and exotic plants: a source of positive relationships between understorey diversity and invasibility (2008, background): “…relationships between native species richness and invasive species richness (Lonsdale, 1999; Espinosa-García et al., 2004; Davies et al., 2005; Richardson et al., 2005; Richardson & Pysek, 2006), was probably not responsible for the positive relationship between species richness and P.…”
