  • The (bio)diversity of science reflects the interests of society 
    Wilson, J.R.U.   Procheş, Ş.   Braschler, B.   Dixon, E.S.   Richardson, D.M. (2007)
    For ecologists to develop robust generalizations and principles, a broad taxonomic and geographic spread of research is required, but, in practice, most generalizations are based on the research of individual scientists ...
  • Interactions between environment, species traits, and human uses describe patterns of plant invasions 
    Thuiller, W.   Richardson, D.M.   Rouget, M.   Procheş, Ş.   Wilson, J.R.U. (ECOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2006-07)
    Although invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to biodiversity, human health, and economy, our understanding of the factors controlling their distribution and abundance is limited. Here, we determine how environmental ...
  • Invasive alien plants infiltrate bird-mediated shrub nucleation processes in arid savanna 
    Milton, S.J.   Wilson, J.R.U.   Richardson, D.M.   Seymour, C.L.   Dean, W.R.J.   Iponga, D.M.   Procheş, Ş. (Blackwell, 2007)
    1 The cultivation and dissemination of alien ornamental plants increases their potential to invade. More specifically, species with bird-dispersed seeds can potentially infiltrate natural nucleation processes in savannas. 2 To ...
  • Landscape corridors: Possible dangers? 
    Procheş, Ş.   Wilson, J.R.U.   Veldtman, R.   Kalwij, J.M.   Richardson, D.M.   Chown, S.L. (AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2005-11-04)
  • Residence time and potential range: crucial considerations in modelling plant invasions 
    Wilson, J.R.U.   Richardson, D.M.   Rouget, M.   Procheş, Ş.   Amis, M.A.   Henderson, L.   Thuiller, W. (2007)
    A prime aim of invasion biology is to predict which species will become invasive, but retrospective analyses have so far failed to develop robust generalizations. This is because many biological, environmental, and ...
