Invasive plant species should be evaluated and prioritized for management according to
their impacts, which include reduction in native diversity, changes to nutrient pools, and …

The detrimental effects of invasive plant species on ecosystems are well documented. While
much research has focused on discovering ecological influences associated with …

The theoretical underpinnings of the assessment of invasive alien species impacts need to
be improved. At present most approaches are unreliable to quantify impact at regional …

Terrestrial invasive plants are a global problem and are becoming ubiquitous components of
most ecosystems. They are implicated in altering disturbance regimes, reducing biodiversity …

The quantification of invader impacts remains a major hurdle to understanding and
managing invasions. Here, we demonstrate a method for quantifying the community‐level …

Hypotheses for explaining plant invasions have focused on a variety of factors that may
influence invasion success, including propagule pressure, interactions of the introduced …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and
economic impacts across the globe. However, it is unclear whether there are strong patterns …

There are thousands of case studies documenting invasive species' impacts and these have
led to the development of over 30 hypotheses that describe how invasions occur and their …

Some studies examining the impacts of invasive plant species in native plant communities
have demonstrated non-linear damage functions, whereby community components, such as …

Biological invasions are a fixture in our landscapes, with consequent losses in endemic
biota and shifts in ecosystem function. Despite the historical recognition of exotic species …
