• The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “However, there was no relationship between rates of relative growth and spread of 33 introduced, woody species in New Zealand (Bellingham et al. 2004), nor any evidence for selective introduction of largeseeded varieties of two invasive shrubs (Buckley et al. 2003).”
• A unifying framework for biological invasions: the state factor model (2008, background): “Research on biological invasions has spanned aspects including species traits (e.g., Buckley et al. 2003), habitat properties (e.g., Huenneke et al. 1990), evolutionary processes (e.g., Blair and Wolfe 2004), biogeographical trends (e.g., Grigulis et al. 2001), propagule pressure (e.g., Ahlroth et…”
• Dispersal and demography contributions to population spread of Carduus nutans in its native and invaded ranges (2008, background): “…Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 96, 687–697 Such a multi-population approach for native-invaded range comparisons has already been used in studies that focus on, for instance, seed size (Buckley et al. 2003), plant size (Jakobs et al. 2004) and genetic variation (Lavergne & Molofsky 2007).”
• Cultivar selection prior to introduction may increase invasiveness: evidence from Ardisia crenata (2006, background): “size exhibits considerable variation within a population, there is a significant genetic component leading to variation among populations (Winn and Gross 1993; Susko and LovettDoust 2000; Buckley et al. 2003).”
• RAPID EVOLUTION OF AN INVASIVE PLANT (2004, background): “Exotic species can often be larger or more fecund in their introduced range than in their native range (Elton 1958, Crawley 1987, Fowler et al. 1996, Rees and Paynter 1997, Buckley et al. 2003, Grosholz and Ruiz 2003).”
• The invasive shrub Buddleja davidii performs better in its introduced range (2007, result): “Our data are also in line with Buckley et al. (2003), who reported heavier seeds of Cytisus scoparius in the invaded range.”
• Phenotypic and genetic differentiation between native and introduced plant populations (2005, background): “For instance, Buckley et al. (2003) studied seed size variation in native versus introduced populations of two introduced shrubs.”
