• A comparison of invasive and non‐invasive dayflowers (Commelinaceae) across experimental nutrient and water gradients (2004, background): “…is native to South America (Brazil-Argentina), and is invasive in the United States (Faden, 1982; category I invasive species, FLEPPC, 2003a), New Zealand (Faden, 1982; Kelly & Skipworth, 1984; Standish et al ., 2001), South Africa (R.B. Faden, personal communication), and Australia (FNA, 2002).”
• Biomass allocation, morphology and photosynthesis of invasive and noninvasive exotic species grown at four irradiance levels (2007, background): “Competition for light is often cited as the primary mechanism for changes after invasion yet resulting in shading of native plants by invasive species (Standish et al., 2001; D’Antonio et al., 2001).”
• Is Pinus radiata invading the native vegetation in central Chile? Demographic responses in a fragmented forest (2005, background): “…of fragments (i.e. abiotic environment, cover, disturbance regime) and life history attributes of plants (i.e. seed production, dispersal ability, resistance to fire, regeneration niche and competitive ability (Brothers and Spingarn 1992; Laurence 1997; Viana et al. 1997; Standish et al. 2001).”
• Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “…abiotic resource modification can have major impacts on an invaded system, as demonstrated by numerous recent studies (e.g. Fogarty & Facelli, 1999; Standish et al ., 2001; Lenz et al ., 2003; Wolf et al ., 2004; Yelenik et al ., 2004) (see Crooks, 2002 for a comprehensive review of this topic).”
• Invasion by a Perennial Herb Increases Decomposition Rate and Alters Nutrient Availability in Warm Temperate Lowland Forest Remnants (2004, methodology): “…have been subjected to anthropogenic disturbances (Timmins and Williams 1991), which have resulted in increased light levels in the forest interior which have favoured the invasion and biomass accumulation of T. fluminensis (hereafter Tradescantia) (Kelly and Skipworth 1984; Standish et al. 2001).”
• Impact of invasive plants on the species richness, diversity and composition of invaded communities (2009, background): “Native species differ in their resistance to invasion; some are excluded from invaded communities more easily than others (Standish et al. 2001, Stinson et al. 2007).”
• A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and environment (2012, background): “For islands, only one case study (Tradescantia fluminensis invasion in New Zealand) revealed an increase in resident species richness (but this was in the seed bank), whereas richness of seedlings was reduced (Standish et al., 2001).”
