Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “The rate of species introductions and the ability of non-natives to become dominant in diverse ecosystems have changed the composition of many ecological communities (Catford et al. 2012b; Seabloom et al. 2013, 2015; Dornelas et al. 2014).”
Traditional coppice forest management drives the invasion of Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia into deciduous forests (2013, background): “Radtke), stefan.ambrass@ (S. Zerbe), giustino.tonon@ ac.at (V. Fontana), Christian. invasions (Catford et al., 2012).”
Solidago canadensis impacts on native plant and pollinator communities in different-aged old fields (2015, background): “However, reaching a stage of diverse secondary vegetation is not free from challenges, as old fields are highly susceptible to invasion by alien plant species (Catford et al. 2012).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Such disturbances are known to facilitate invasion (Davis et al. 2000), because many invasive species can take advantage of fluctuations in resource availability caused by disturbances (Catford et al. 2012; Singh et al. 2018).”
Species and environmental characteristics point to flow regulation and drought as drivers of riparian plant invasion (2014, background): “High propagule availability can increase colonisation success across all environmental conditions, but it is particularly influential in areas with high resource availability (Catford et al., 2012a), which might occur if the abundance of, and uptake by, natives species declines (Davis et al., 2000).”
