An invasive aster (Ageratina adenophora) invades and dominates forest understories in China: altered soil microbial communities facilitate the invader and inhibit natives (2007, background): “hypothesis ( Mitchell and Power 2003; Dewalt et al. 2004).”
Pathogens can Slow Down or Reverse Invasion Fronts of their Hosts (2005, positive): “Moreover, recent quantitative studies of Mitchell and Power (2003) and Torchin et al. (2003) demonstrate that invasive species, both plants and animals, appear to suffer from fewer pathogens and parasites in their new habitat than in their native range.”
How will climate change affect oil palm fungal diseases (2013, positive): “For example, 473 plant species naturalised to the United States from Europe had on average, 84% fewer fungi infecting each plant species (Mitchell and Power, 2003).”
Including species interactions in risk assessments for global change (2007, background): “Ecologists need to supplement exclusion experiments (Mitchell & Power, 2003) with analytical methods to detect such cryptic cases of competition.”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “5) Enemy release hypothesis: the absence of enemies in the exotic range is a cause of invasion success (Maron and Vilà 2001; Keane and Crawley 2002; Mitchell and Power 2003; Torchin et al. 2003; Colautti et al. 2004; Liu and Stiling 2006; Blumenthal et al. 2009).”
Reduced competitive ability in an invasive plant (2004, background): “One evolutionary hypothesis to explain plant invasions is based on the observation that introduced species are often released from many of their specialized herbivores and pathogens (Maron & Vilà 2001; Keane & Crawley 2002; Wolfe 2002; Mitchell & Power 2003).”
Causes and Consequences of Invasive Plants in Wetlands: Opportunities, Opportunists, and Outcomes (2004, methodology): “Support for this hypothesis comes from Klironomos (2002) and Mitchell and Power (2003) .”
