What is the “real” impact of invasive plant species? (2013, background): “In an attempt to identify whether the definition of invasive should include impact or not, Ricciardi and Cohen (2007) quantified “invasiveness” as a function of rate of establishment/spread and a categorical assignment of invader impacts to native species.”
Plant invasions and the niche (2009, unknown): “This prediction is supported by a poor correlation between the ability of invaders to establish and their impact on native species ( Ricciardi & Cohen 2007 ).”
Functional responses can unify invasion ecology (2017, background): “…establishment and spread may be facilitated by resource use patterns, again measurable by functional response studies, and species invasiveness as distinct from ecological impact (see Ricciardi and Cohen 2007) may also be correlated with functional responses (see Bovy et al. 2015; Xu et al. 2016).”
Assisted colonization is not a viable conservation strategy. (2009, background): “Moreover, invasiveness is not a good predictor of impact; a species that is a poor colonizer could nonetheless exert profound impacts when placed in a particular environment [ 43 ].”
Aquaculture: a newly emergent food production sector—and perspectives of its impacts on biodiversity and conservation (2012, background): “Ricciardi and Cohen (2007) demonstrated that invasiveness of an introduced species does not predict its impact.”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “Experimental, even correlational, studies of impact are scarce for many highly invasive species (Parker et al. 1999, Ricciardi and Cohen 2007, Kulhanek et al. 2010a, Hulme et al. 2013).”
Comparing impacts of alien plants and animals in Europe using a standard scoring system (2015, background): “However, invasiveness does not necessarily equal impact (Ricciardi & Cohen 2007), and the degree to which the ‘elsewhere’ rule applies to impact has yet to be established (but see Ricciardi 2003, who developed a predictive model for the impact of zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha based on impact…”
Predicting the number of ecologically harmful exotic species in an aquatic system (2007, background): “…invasions by HI species will decline with time as the source pool becomes depleted; however, this latter scenario seems unlikely as there is no evidence of a correlation between the impact of an introduced species on native species populations and its ability to spread (Ricciardi & Cohen, 2007).”
Socio‐economic impact classification of alien taxa (SEICAT) (2018, background): “However, the impacts caused by alien species vary markedly between species and contexts (Ricciardi & Cohen 2007; Pyšek et al. 2012; Kumschick et al. 2015a,b), and there is substantial debate as to their severity and scale (Davis et al. 2011, Simberloff et al. 2011, 2013).”
Inventory of the non‐native flora of Italy (2009, background): “This distinction is crucial, because plants that spread more rapidly are not necessarily those that cause the most serious problems (Daehler 2001; Kowarik 2003b; Levine et al. 2003; Rejmánek et al. 2005; Ricciardi & Cohen 2007).”
Impacts of Biological Invasions on Freshwater Ecosystems (2010, background): “…2004b ) and the invasiveness, or colonizing ability, of a species is an inadequate predictor of impact for terrestrial and aquatic organisms (see Ricciardi & Cohen 2007 ); even poor colonizers (for example Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar ) may have strong local impacts, whereas widely successful…”
Non‐native flora of Italy: Species distribution and threats (2010, background): “1996 ; Ricciardi & Cohen 2007 ) and a major cause of the loss of global biodiversity (Mack et al.”
Rating the rat: Global patterns and research priorities in impacts and management of rodent pests (2014, methodology): “(2000) and Ricciardi and Cohen (2007). We identified five key questions that will help to frame a taxonomic and geographic identikit of the main issues in this research area: 1) Which are the main rodent pest species in the world? 2) What are their main impacts? 3) What are the main control methods ”
The Invasive Species Assessment Protocol: A Tool for Creating Regional and National Lists of Invasive Nonnative Plants That Negatively Impact Biodiversity (2008, background): “…and/or the environment (e.g., usage in U.S. National Invasive Species Plan, National Invasive Species Council 2001), and still others use ‘‘invasive’’ for all nonnative species that establish and spread beyond cultivation (Rejmánek et al. 2002; Ricciardi and Cohen 2007; Richardson et al. 2000).”
