“…The usual wisdom is that once a nonnative species is established and begins to spread, eradication becomes impossible, and only control remains as an option (Sindel and Michael 1992;Hastings 1996;Perrings et al 2002). This process of spread, nevertheless, appears to be constrained spatially by the ecological niche of the species.…”

“…Species that have been examined are diverse, including plants and animals, freshwater and terrestrial species, and vertebrates and invertebrates. Almost invariably, predictivity of the geographic course of species' invasions has been excellent (Panetta and Dodd 1987;Podger et al 1990;Richardson and McMahon 1992;Sindel and Michael 1992;Martin 1996;Skov 2000;Hoffmann 2001;Martin 2001;Peterson and Vieglais 2001;Welk et al 2002;Papes and Peterson 2003;Peterson and Robins 2003). This significant predictivity is the "proof in the pudding"-species follow the ecological rules that can be reconstructed based on their native distributional ecologies wherever they are in the world.…”

“…Distributional potential of species in regions other than their native ranges can thus be predicted via detection of conditions that fit the species' ecological niche in those regions. This general approach was prototyped based on tests with avian invasions (Peterson and Vieglais 2001), and has now been tested further based on diverse examples, including plants, insects, molluscs, and vertebrates, terrestrial and aquatic systems, apart from the broad literature that presents examples in which climate-matching approaches in general provided good predictivity of geographic invasive potential (Panetta and Dodd 1987;Podger et al 1990;Richardson and McMahon 1992;Sindel and Michael 1992;Martin 1996;Skov 2000;Hoffmann 2001;Martin 2001;Welk et al 2002).

“…This approach is based on the concept of ecological niches as a constraint on the distributional potential of species (Grinnell 1917(Grinnell , 1924, and involves a logical extension of the basic niche concept-that species will be able to establish populations only in areas that match the set of ecological conditions to which they are limited on native distributional areas. This approach has seen application to a broad diversity of species' invasions (Panetta and Dodd 1987;Podger et al 1990;Richardson and McMahon 1992;Sindel and Michael 1992;Martin 1996;Skov 2000;Hoffmann 2001;Martin 2001;Welk et al 2002), including the development of convenient, user-friendly software (Sutherst et al 1999).More recent applications (Peterson and Vieglais 2001) have developed climate matching more fully under the rubric of ecological niche modeling (Peterson et al 2002c). In this sense, the ecological niche of a speciesthe conjunction of environmental conditions within which a species can maintain populations without immigration (MacArthur 1972)-is modeled by a variety of approaches based on occurrence patterns within the species's native distribution.…”

keywords invasive species, ecological niche models, geographic information systems, predictive modeling, niche evolution abstract Species' invasions have long been regarded as enormously complex processes, so complex as to defy predictivity. Phases of this process, however, are emerging as highly predictable: the potential geographic course of an invasion can be anticipated with high precision based on the ecological niche characteristics of a species in its native geographic distributional area. This predictivity depends on the premise that ecological niches constitute long-term stable constraints on the potential geographic distributions of species, for which a sizeable body of evidence is accumulating. Hence, although the entire invasion process is indeed complex, the geographic course that invasions are able to take can be anticipated with considerable confidence.I NVASIVE SPECIES have become an issue of great concern in fields as diverse as biology, agriculture, transportation, and economics (Carlton 1996;Kareiva 1996;Williamson 1996Williamson , 1999Enserink 1999;Higgins et al. 1999; NAS 2002). The basic point is that with ever-increasing scales of human movement, species are finding ever-increasing opportunities to move as well, resulting in many introductions of species to novel landscapes (NAS 2002). Although many colonizations fail (Williamson and Fitter 1996), for reasons of demography or of chance, this increased opportunity for colonization certainly plays a major role in increasing numbers of successful invasions.Several reviews of the natural history and ecology of invasive species have been conducted in the hope of identifying factors key in determining the success of invasions that could serve as the basis for a predictive understanding of which species represent potential invaders (Honig et al. 1992;Perrins et al. 1992;Scott and Panetta 1993;Lonsdale 1994;Carlton 1996;Rejmánek and Richardson 1996;Williamson 1996Williamson , 1999Reichard and Hamilton 1997;Ricciardi and Rasmussen 1998;Enserink 1999; NAS 2002). Unfortunately, the list of such identified key factors is short, consisting principally of characters associated with weedy habit and prior history of successful invasion. More than anything, with a few exceptions (Rejmánek and Richardson 1996), the conclusion has been that 420Volume 78 THE QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY few or no factors allow consistent prediction a priori of success or failure of invasions. As a result, efforts to combat species' invasions have been largely reactive in nature: a new invader arrives, and a plan must then be developed to combat it.A distinct approach toward predicting the behavior of invasions, however, can be referred to as "climate-matching" (NAS 2002). This approach is based on the concept of ecological niches as a constraint on the distributional potential of species (Grinnell 1917(Grinnell , 1924, and involves a logical extension of the basic niche concept-that species will be able to establish populations only in areas that match the set of ecological c...

“…Here, the idea is that-given apparently widespread evolutionary conservatism in ecological niche characteristics-species will often 'obey' the same set of ecological rules on invaded distributional areas as they do on their native distributional areas. As such, the geographic potential of invasive species is often quite predictable, based on their geographic and ecological distributions on their native distributional areas (Beerling et al 1995;Higgins et al 1999;Hinojosa-Díaz et al 2005;Hoffmann 2001;Honig et al 1992;Iguchi et al 2004;Panetta and Dodd 1987;Papes and Peterson 2003;Peterson 2003a;Peterson et al 2003a;Peterson and Robins 2003;Peterson et al 2003b;Peterson and Vieglais 2001;Podger et al 1990;Richardson and McMahon 1992;Robertson et al 2004;Sindel and Michael 1992;Skov 2000;Sutherst et al 1999;Welk et al 2002;Zalba et al 2000), although the factors that make a species invasive are clearly more complex than just niche considerations ).…”

Abstract.-Modeling approaches that relate known occurrences of species to landscape features to discover ecological properties and predict geographic occurrences have seen extensive recent application in ecology, systematics, and conservation. A key component in this process is estimation or characterization of species' distributions in ecological space, which can then be useful in understanding their potential distributions in geographic space. Hence, this process is often termed ecological niche modeling or (less boldly) species distribution modeling. Applications of this approach vary widely in their aims, products, and requirements; this variety is reviewed herein, examples are provided, and differences in data needs and possible interpretations are discussed.

Does time since introduction influence enemy release of an invasive weed?

et al. 2013

Release from natural enemies is considered to potentially play an important role in the initial establishment and success of introduced plants. With time, the species richness of herbivores using non-native plants may increase [species-time relationship (STR)]. We investigated whether enemy release may be limited to the early stages of invasion. Substituting space for time, we sampled invertebrates and measured leaf damage on the invasive species Senecio madagascariensis Poir. at multiple sites, north and south of the introduction site. Invertebrate communities were collected from plants in the field, and reared from collected plant tissue. We also sampled invertebrates and damage on the native congener Senecio pinnatifolius var. pinnatifolius A. Rich. This species served as a control to account for environmental factors that may vary along the latitudinal gradient and as a comparison for evaluating the enemy release hypothesis (ERH). In contrast to predictions of the ERH, greater damage and herbivore abundances and richness were found on the introduced species S. madagascariensis than on the native S. pinnatifolius. Supporting the STR, total invertebrates (including herbivores) decreased in abundance, richness and Shannon diversity from the point of introduction to the invasion fronts of S. madagascariensis. Leaf damage showed the opposite trend, with highest damage levels at the invasion fronts. Reared herbivore loads (as opposed to external collections) were greater on the invader at the point of introduction than on sites further from this region. These results suggest there is a complex relationship between the invader and invertebrate community response over time. S. madagascariensis may be undergoing rapid changes at its invasion fronts in response to environmental and herbivore pressure.
