  2. Propagule pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagule_pressure

    Propagule pressure plays an important role in species invasions (Groom, 2006). Charles Darwin was the first to study specific factors related to invasions of non-native species. In his research he identified that few members of the same genus were present in habitats containing naturalized non-indigenous species (Colautti et al., 2006).

  3. Effects of climate change on plant biodiversity - Wikipedia
