Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences (2016, background): “…plasticity in invasion success, mechanisms of tolerance to low diversity and rapid evolution in introduced populations—all of which appear to be variously important in different systems to invasion success (Lee 2002; Dlugosch and Parker 2008; Whitney and Gabler 2008; Lawson Handley et al. 2011).”
Risk analysis of potential invasive plants in Spain (2010, background): “Risk assessment schemes are science-based predictions which attempt to identify species that have not yet been introduced to a region but have a high likelihood of becoming invasive (Whitney & Gabler 2008).”
Invasive and flexible: niche shift in the drosophilid Zaprionus indianus (Insecta, Diptera) (2010, background): “There is evidence that introduced populations can quickly adapt to local conditions (Sakai et al. 2001; Lambrinos 2004; Whitney and Gabler 2008).”
Ploidy influences rarity and invasiveness in plants (2011, background): “There is increasing evidence that the ‘invasive’ traits of invasive species may evolve at least in part in response to conditions experienced during invasion (Whitney & Gabler 2008); whether this holds for ploidy, however, is unclear.”
Selecting predictors to maximize the transferability of species distribution models: lessons from cross‐continental plant invasions (2017, background): “This is because, 339 even if the fundamental niche may also be subject to changes, it requires evolutionary adaptations 340 which take times to develop (Whitney & Gabler, 2008).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “vations, it has been suggested that such evolutionary or plastic trait change should also be considered in “Invasive Species Predictive Schemes” (Whitney and Gabler, 2008).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “So far, although many examples of evolution during biological invasions have been described (see Whitney and Gabler 2008 for a review), it is not always clear whether changes in phenotypic and lifehistory traits during establishment and range expansion reflect adaptive evolution during the invasion…”
Rapid Evolutionary Change and the Coexistence of Species (2011, unknown): “…to evolve reduced investment in resistance/tolerance and subsequently greater competitive ability, a phenomenon studied intensively in exotic introductions with mixed results ( Joshi & Vrieling 2005, Muller & Martens 2005, Siemann & Rogers 2001, van Kleunen & Schmid 2003, Willis et al. 2000).”
