Human Facilitation of Phragmites australis Invasions in Tidal Marshes: A Review and Synthesis (2006, background): “Ailstock et al. (2001) report that rhizomes adhering to mud on construction vehicles moved and reburied viable rhizomes.”
Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “Consequently, invasions of alien plants frequently not only push out native plants but also change associated animal communities (e.g., Ailstock et al. 2001; Strayer et al. 2003).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “…have established widespread monocultures in Canada and become ecologically and economically problematic, threatening both native biota and reducing agricultural production (Lorenz 1991, Meekins and McCarthy 1999, Ailstock et al. 2001, Klironomos 2002, Kruger-Mangold et al. 2002, Cappuccino 2004).”
