• Dominant species identity regulates invasibility of old‐field plant communities (2006, background): “It is also been demonstrated that certain dominant species regulate aboveground productivity in grassland systems (Smith and Knapp 2003), and productivity has been shown to regulate invasion in several studies ( Foster and Gross 1998, Suding and Goldberg 1999, Hector et al. 2001).”
• Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “Further, some experimental studies have measured the species richness of invaders and found both positive (Palmer & Maurer 1997; Crawley et al. 1999; Foster et al. 2002) and negative (Tilman 1997; Knops et al. 1999; Hector et al. 2001; Troumbis et al. 2002) relationships with species richness of…”
• Invasion success and impact of an invasive fish, round goby, in Great Lakes tributaries (2013, background): “This and other studies (Moyle & Light, 1996; Foster et al., 2002; Hooper et al., 2005) point to environmental characteristics as the predominant factor in the establishment of invasive species, a relationship that can produce positive associations between invader presence and indigenous species…”
• Propagule pools mediate community assembly and diversity‐ecosystem regulation along a grassland productivity gradient (2004, background): “This scenario apparently does not apply to the more productive locations in our grassland that are resistant to invasion unless disturbed (Foster et al. 2002).”
• Opposite relationships between invasibility and native species richness at patch versus landscape scales (2005, background): “…Foster et al. 2002) or assumed to be similar in all plots (Knops et al. 1999, Stachowicz et al. 1999, Hector et al. 2001, Kennedy et al. 2002, Troumbis et al. 2002, Pfisterer et al. 2004), have demonstrated negative relationships between diversity and invasibility (but see Foster et al. 2002).”
• GRASSLAND DIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY: THE INTERPLAY OF RESOURCE AVAILABILITY AND PROPAGULE POOLS (2004, background): “Although the site has a long history of use as cropland, it was maintained as a seeded hayfield (Brome and Fescue) for at least 20 years prior to abandonment in 1984 (Foster et al. 2002).”
• Limiting similarity between invaders and dominant species in herbaceous plant communities? (2007, background): “Studies that add seeds of a variety of species may create undesired seedling competition effects, but they also give a more complete picture of how a community may respond to any given novel invader (e.g. Symstad 2000; Foster et al. 2002).”
• Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “For all hypothesized mechanisms, it is the traits of the resident species, not merely the species richness, that determine the invasibility of a system (Foster et al. 2002; Prieur-Richard et al. 2002; Dunstan and Johnson 2004).”
• Aquatic pollution increases the relative success of invasive species (2010, background): “The second approach is to experimentally add known quantities of propagules to systems experiencing differing environmental conditions (e.g., Burke and Grime 1996; Foster et al. 2002; Woitke and Dietz 2002).”
• Restoration of Prairie Community Structure and Ecosystem Function in an Abandoned Hayfield: A Sowing Experiment (2007, background): “Quadrat scatter along axis 2 of the ordination suggested that sown quadrats responded more clearly to disturbance than non-sown plots.”
• Dominance not richness determines invasibility of tallgrass prairie. (2004, background): “In a successional Kansas grassland, invasion was found to be strongly influenced by variation in light availability across a natural gradient of plant diversity, with invasion increasing as light availability increased (Foster et al. 2002).”
• A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, background): “Foster et al. (2002) found that more diverse grassland plots were more heavily invaded and that resource availability explained a greater percen-”
