Identifying mechanisms of competition in multi‐species communities (2007, background): “2000; Symstad 2000; Dukes 2001; Hector et al .”
Predicting Biological Invasions (2003, background): “…approach toward understanding the ecology of invasions is to look at the characteristics of the ecosystems invaded (e.g. Crawley 1987; Rejmánek 1989; Levine and D’Antonio 1999; Levine 2000; Symstad 2000), and to focus on the issue of whether there are communities resistant to biological invasion.”
The invasibility of tropical forests by exotic plants (2002, background): “…experiments have confirmed that functional group diversity (see below) was more highly correlated with lower invasibility than species diversity, although in some studies the effect of species diversity was still significant (Dukes 2001, Lavorel et al. 1999, Symstad 2000, Tilman et al. 1997).”
Niche pre‐emption increases with species richness in experimental plant communities (2007, background): “It is conceivable that stronger invasion resistance could have been observed if we had introduced seeds (see, e.g. Symstad 2000; Dukes 2001) instead of young plants, but then we would have confounded requirements for empty germination niches with those for growing plants.”
Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “Plant traits also influence the probability of disturbances such as fire, wind-throw, and human harvest, which temporarily change forests from accumulating carbon to releasing it (Valentini et al. 2000; Schulze et al. 2000).”
Novel forests maintain ecosystem processes after the decline of native tree species (2012, positive): “The results of these studies indeed suggest that diversity limits invasion at the local scale (Knops et al. 1999, Naeem et al. 2000, Symstad 2000, Kennedy et al. 2002, Fargione et al. 2003, Pfisterer et al. Manuscript received 6 June 2011; revised 23 November 2011; accepted 28 November 2011.”
Invasion impacts local species turnover in a successional system (2004, background): “Interactions between similar species are predicted to be stronger than those among species from other functional groups (Prieur-Richard et al. 2000; Symstad 2000).”
Local interactions, dispersal, and native and exotic plant diversity along a California stream (2001, background): “…effects of resident species diversity on the success of arriving propagules has also been found in grasslands (Knops et al. 1999, Naeem et al. 2000, Symstad 2000, Dukes 2001), freshwater ponds (Shurin 2000), marine benthic habitats (Stachowicz et al., 1999) and microcosms (McGrady-Steed tal.”
Limiting similarity between invaders and dominant species in herbaceous plant communities? (2007, background): “Other studies, using suites of native invaders instead of a single exotic invader, have also found mixed evidence for limiting similarity (Symstad 2000; Fargione et al .”
DISENTANGLING THE IMPACTS OF DIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING IN COMBINATORIAL EXPERIMENTS (2002, neutral): “(2001), Symstad and Tilman (2001), and Reich et al.”
Beyond biodiversity: individualistic controls of invasion in a self‐assembled community (2004, background): “Experimental studies of invasions are frequently short (Tilman 1997; Crawley et al. 1999; Knops et al. 1999; Stachowicz et al. 1999; Levine 2000; Prieur-Richard et al. 2000; Symstad 2000; Kennedy et al. 2002; Troumbis et al. 2002), while invasions occur over many years.”
