      • The absence of fire can cause a lag phase: The invasion dynamics of Banksia ericifolia (Proteaceae) 

        Geerts, S.; Moodley, D.; Gaertner, M.; Le Roux, J.J.; McGeoch, M.A.; Muofhe, C.; Richardson, D.M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (2013)
        The transition from a species introduction to an invasion often spans many decades (a lag phase). However, few studies have determined the mechanisms underlying lag phases. Such a mechanistic understanding is vital if ...
      • ABSTRACT: Reporting on the state of plant invasions in South Africa 

        Wilson, J.R.U.; Gaertner, M.; Richardson, D.M.; Rahlao, S.; van Wilgen, B.W. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)
      • Adaptive evolution in invasive species 

        Prentis, P.J.; Wilson, J.R.U.; Dormontt, E.E.; Richardson, D.M.; Lowe, A.J. (Elsevier Ltd., 2008)
        Many emerging invasive species display evidence of rapid adaptation. Contemporary genetic studies demonstrate that adaptation to novel environments can occur within 20 generations or less, indicating that evolutionary ...
      • Alien bamboos in South Africa: a socio-historical perspective 

        Canavan, S.; Richardson, D.M.; Le Roux, J.J.; Wilson, J.R.U. (Springer, 2019)
        Changes in fashions and economic imperatives underlying plant introductions have a profound influence on the movement of species around the world. Using bamboo introductions into South Africa as a case-study, we explore ...
      • Alien invaders and reptile traders: what drives the live animal trade in South Africa? 

        van Wilgen, N.J.; Wilson, J.R.U.; Elith, J.; Wintle, B.A.; Richardson, D.M. (The Zoological Society of London, 2010)
        The global trade in reptiles for pets has grown rapidly in recent decades. Some species introduced by the pet trade have established and become invasive, for example the Burmese python in Florida. Although there are ...
      • Assessing and managing the threat posed by Epipremnum aureum in South Africa 

        Moodley, D.; Proches, S.; Wilson, J.R.U. (Elsevier B.V., 2017)
        The predictive success of risk assessments is still largely a function of invasiveness elsewhere. Therefore, species that are invasive elsewhere should be prioritised for management, and where possible eradicated. We set ...
      • An assessment of the information content of South African alien species databases 

        Faulkner, K.T.; Spear, D.; Robertson, M.P.; Rouget, M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (AOSIS Publishing, 2015)
        National alien species databases indicate the state of a country’s biodiversity and provide useful data for research on invasion biology and the management of invasions. In South Africa there are several different published ...
      • Australian acacias as invasive species: lessons to be learnt from regions with long planting histories 

        Richardson, D.M.; Le Roux, J.J.; Wilson, J.R.U. (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor & Francis, 2015)
        Problems associated with invasiveness of non-native tree species used in forestry are increasing rapidly worldwide and are most severe in areas with a long history of plantings. Lessons learnt in areas with long histories ...
      • The balance of trade in alien species between South Africa and the rest of Africa 

        Faulkner, K.T.; Hurley, B.P.; Robertson, M.P.; Rouget, M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (AOSIS, 2017)
        Background: Alien organisms are not only introduced from one biogeographical region to another but also spread within regions. As South Africa shares land borders with six countries, multiple opportunities exist for the ...
      • 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 ...
      • Biodiversity assessments: Origin matters 

        Pauchard, A.; Meyerson, L.A.; Bacher, S.; Blackburn, T.M.; Brundu, G.; Cadotte, M.W.; Courchamp, F.; Essl, F.; Genovesi, P.; Haider, S.; Holmes, N.D.; Hulme, P.E.; Jeschke, J.M.; Lockwood, J.L.; Novoa, A.; Nunez, M.A.; Peltzer, D.A.; Pysek, P.; Richardson, D.M.; Simberloff, D.; Smith, K.; van Wilgen, B.W.; Vila, M.; Wilson, J.R.U.; Winter, M.; Zenni, R.D. (Creative Commons Attribution License, 2018)
        Recent global efforts in biodiversity accounting, such as those undertaken through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), ...
      • Biogeographic concepts define invasion biology 

        Wilson, J.R.U.; Dormontt, E.E.; Prentis, P.J.; Lowe, A.J.; Richardson, D.M. (Elsevier, 2009-11)
      • Biological invasions and natural colonisations are different – the need for invasion science. 

        Wilson, J.R.U.; Garcia-Diaz, P.; Cassey, P.; Richardson, D.M.; Pysek, P.; Blackburn, T.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 ...
      • Biological invasions in the Cape Floristic Region: history, current patterns, impacts, and management challenges 

        Wilson, J.R.; Gaertner, M.; Griffiths, C.L.; Kotze, I.; Le Maitre, D.C.; Marr, S.M.; Picker, M.D.; Spear, D.; Stafford, L.; Richardson, D.M.; van Wilgen, B.W.; Wannenburg, A. (Oxford University Press, 2015)
        The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is the most invaded terrestrial area in South Africa in terms of: the conspicuous prominence of (mainly woody) invasive plants (Fig 12.1, Plate 12) (Henderson 2007); the area invaded as ...
      • Biological invasions in World Heritage Sites: current status and a proposed monitoring and reporting framework 

        Shackleton, R.T.; Bertzky, B.; Wood, L.E.; Bunbury, N.; Jäger, H.; van Merm, R.; Sevilla, C.; Smith, K.; Wilson, J.R.U.; Witt, A.B.R.; Richardson, D.M. (2020)
        UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS) are areas of outstanding universal value and conservation importance. They are, however, threatened by a variety of global change drivers, including biological invasions. We assessed the ...
      • Border control for stowaway alien species should be prioritised based on variations in establishment debt 

        Faulkner, K.T.; Robertson, M.P.; Rouget, M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
        Border control is one of the major approaches used by countries to limit the number of organisms introduced as stowaways. However, it is not feasible to inspect all passengers, cargo and vehicles entering a country, and ...
      • Casuarina cunninghamiana in the Western Cape, South Africa: Determinants of naturalisation and invasion, and options from management 

        Potgieter, L.J.; Richardson, D.M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (Elsevier, 2014-05)
        Alien species that are desirable and commercially important in some parts of the landscape but damaging invaders in other parts present a special challenge for managers, planners, and policy-makers. Casuarina cunninghamiana ...
      • Casuarina: biogeography and ecology of an important tree genus in a changing world 

        Potgieter, L.J.; Richardson, D.M.; Wilson, J.R.U. (Springer, 2014)
        Important insights on the invasion ecology of woody plants are emerging from the study of model groups, but it is important to test how widely such results can be generalised. We examined whether drivers of introduction ...
      • Changes in the composition and distribution of alien plants in South Africa: An update from the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas 

        Henderson, L.; Wilson, J.R.U. (AOSIS, 2017)
        Background: Data on alien species status and occurrence are essential variables for the monitoring and reporting of biological invasions. The Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) Project has, over the past 23 ...
