    Indirect effects of habitat disturbance on invasion : nutritious litter from a grazing resistant plant favors alien over native Collembola 

    Leinaas, Hans Petter; Bengtsson, Jan; Janion-Scheepers, Charlene; Chown, Steven L. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
    Biological invasions are major threats to biodiversity, with impacts that may be compounded by other forms of environmental change. Observations of high density of the invasive springtail (Collembola), Hypogastrura manubrialis ...

    Increasing functional modularity with residence time in the co-distribution of native and introduced vascular plants 

    Hui, Cang; Richardson, David M.; Pysek, Petr; Le Roux, Johannes J.; Kucera, Tomas; Jarosik, Vojtech (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)
    Species gain membership of regional assemblages by passing through multiple ecological and environmental filters. To capture the potential trajectory of structural changes in regional meta-communities driven by biological ...

    How repeatable is the Environmental Impact Classification of Alien Taxa (EICAT)? Comparing independent global impact assessments of amphibians 

    Kumschick, Sabrina; Measey, G. John; Vimercati, Giovanni; De Villiers, F. Andre; Mokhatla, Mohlamatsane M.; Davies, Sarah J.; Thorp, Corey J.; Rebelo, Alexander D.; Blackburn, Tim M.; Kraus, Fred (Wiley Open Access, 2017)
    The magnitude of impacts some alien species cause to native environments makes them targets for regulation and management. However, which species to target is not always clear, and comparisons of a wide variety of impacts ...

    Human usage in the native range may determine future genetic structure of an invasion : insights from Acacia pycnantha 

    Le Roux, Johannes J.; Richardson, David M.; Wilson, John R. U.; Ndlovu, Joice (BioMed Central, 2013-10)
    Background: The influence of introduction history and post-introduction dynamics on genetic diversity and structure has been a major research focus in invasion biology. However, genetic diversity and structure in the invasive ...

    Planted forests and invasive alien trees in Europe : a code for managing existing and future plantings to mitigate the risk of negative impacts from invasions 

    Brundu, Giuseppe; Richardson, David M. (Pensoft, 2016)
    Planted forests of alien tree species make significant contributions to the economy and provide multiple products and ecosystem services On the other hand, non-native trees now feature prominently on the lists of invasive ...

    Experimental assessment of factors mediating the naturalization of a globally invasive tree on sandy coastal plains : a case study from Brazil 

    Zimmermann, Thalita G.; Andrade, Antonio C. S.; Richardson, David M. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company, 2016-06-23)
    As all naturalized species are potential invaders, it is important to better understand the determinants of naturalization of alien plants. This study sought to identify traits that enable the alien tree Casuarina equisetifolia ...

    The structure of legume–rhizobium interaction networks and their response to tree invasions 

    Le Roux, Johannes J.; Mavengere, Natasha R.; Ellis, Allan G. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company, 2016-06-02)
    Establishing mutualistic interactions in novel environments is important for the successful establishment of some non-native plant species. These associations may, in turn, impact native species interaction networks as ...

    A global assessment of a large monocot family highlights the need for group-specific analyses of invasiveness 

    Moodley, Desika; Proches, Serban; Wilson, John R. U. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company, 2016)
    Significant progress has been made in understanding biological invasions recently, and one of the key findings is that the determinants of naturalization and invasion success vary from group to group. Here, we explore this ...

    The global distribution of bamboos : assessing correlates of introduction and invasion 

    Canavan, Susan; Richardson, David M.; Visser, Vernon; Le Roux, Johannes J.; Vorontsova, Maria S.; Wilson, John R. U. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company, 2016-12-23)
    There is a long history of species being moved around the world by humans. These introduced species can provide substantial benefits, but they can also have undesirable consequences. We explore the importance of human ...

    Biological invasions and natural colonisations are different – the need for invasion science 

    Wilson, John R. U.; Garcia-Diaz, Pablo; Cassey, Phillip; Richardson, David M.; Pysek, Petr; Blackburn, Tim M. (Pensoft, 2016)
    In a recent Discussion Paper, Hoffmann and Courchamp (2016) posed the question: are biological invasions and natural colonisations that different? This apparently simple question resonates at the core of the biological ...
