• Introduced species policy, management, and future research needs (2005, background): “…to control prickly pear (Opuntia spp), has spread in the West Indies and into the US; it has attacked a narrowly restricted native species and threatens to spread to the Southwest and to Mexico, where it could become a serious conservation and agricultural problem (Stiling and Simberloff 2000).”
• Selection of non-target species for host specificity testing of entomophagous biological control agents. (2005, background): “Subsequently, a number of papers on non-target effects have been published within the last ten years (e.g., Follett et al. 2000a,b; Lockwood et al. 2001; Louda et al. 2003a; Lynch and Thomas 2000; Lynch et al. 2001; Simberloff and Stiling 1996; Stiling and Simberloff 2000;Thomas and Willis 1998).”
• Biological control of invasive alien plants in South Africa: necessity, circumspection, and success (2005, background): “As a result, native opuntia floras in North America and Mexico are now seriously threatened (Pemberton 1995; Stiling and Simberloff 1999; Zimmermann et aL 2001).”
• Biological control of invasive species: solution or pollution? (2006, background): “…gathered sufficient information to address impacts on population density of non-target species (let alone their extinction); comprehensive reviews of the literature conclude only that data “require years of painstaking field work” and are “simply not yet available” (Stiling and Simberloff 2000).”
• Unexpected Ecological Effects of Distributing the Exotic Weevil, Larinus planus (F.), for the Biological Control of Canada Thistle (2002, background): “Alternately, the findings could indicate that a problem exists, that current practices are not yet adequate to protect the native flora (Simberloff & Stiling 1996; Louda 1998a, 2000; Louda et al. 1998; Stiling & Simberloff 2000; Strong & Pemberton 2000.”
