Studying invasion: have we missed the boat? (2005, background): “The eradication of invasive species can be extremely costly, involve potentially harmful chemicals (Myers et al. 2000), and is rarely accomplished, except on small islands, in isolated areas, or before species have spread widely ( Myers et al. 2000; Zavaleta et al. 2001; Simberloff 2003).”
When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “…challenging for many cases including for species that are difficult to detect, that occur in habitats where reinvasion is likely, and that have established over large areas (Myers et al. 1998, 2000; Simberloff 2001; Clout and Veitch 2002; Kiett et al. 2011; Pluess et al. 2012; Tobin et al. 2014).”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “Unfortunately, the design of many of these programs has relied more heavily on intuition and optimism rather than on scientific principles (90, 122).”
Biological invasions in the Antarctic: extent, impacts and implications (2005, background): “Some persistent or invasive mammals have been removed in conservation actions, though these actions themselves have further impacts (Micol & Jouventin, 1995; Myers et al., 2000; Bester et al., 2002; Courchamp et al., 2003).”
How many bird extinctions have we prevented? (2006, background): “In recent decades technological advances and intense research, particularly in New Zealand, mean that eradicating invasive species is now a practical and feasible conservation option, even on sizeable islands (Myers et al., 2000; Veitch & Clout, 2002).”
Freshwater fish introductions in mediterranean‐climate regions: are there commonalities in the conservation problem? (2010, background): “Eradication of non-native species can be costly and is rarely accomplished with the exception on small islands, in isolated areas (such as ponds or small headwater ecosystems), or before species have spread widely (Myers et al., 2000; Zavaleta et al., 2001).”
Eradications as reverse invasions: lessons from Pacific rat (Rattus exulans) removals on New Zealand islands (2009, positive): “Invasive species are those exotic organisms that establish in new locations and threaten native biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, animal and plant health, and human economies (Myers et al. 2000).”
Potential Impact of Filter-feeding Invaders on Temperate Inland Freshwater Environments (2002, background): “The best solution is to prevent the introduction, but, once produced, eradication may be feasible (Myers et al. 2000).”
Interceptions of Nonindigenous Plant Pests at US Ports of Entry and Border Crossings Over a 17-year Period (2006, background): “These efforts are usually costly, may require intensive pesticide applications and are not always successful (Dahlsten et al. 1989; Myers et al. 2000; Simberloff 2001; Liebhold and Bascompte 2003).”
Avoiding surprise effects on Surprise Island: alien species control in a multitrophic level perspective (2009, background): “…studies Control programmes of invading alien species, including the eradication of mammals from islands, have been increasing in numbers in the last few decades (Myers et al. 2000; Courchamp et al. 2003; Nogales et al. 2004; Campbell and Donlan 2005; Martins et al. 2006; Howald et al. 2007).”
Can Invasive Species Facilitate Native Species? Evidence of How, When, and Why These Impacts Occur (2006, background): “In addition, facilitative impacts present management dilemmas in conservation and restoration efforts (Myers et al. 2000a, b; Van Riel et al. 2000; Zavaleta et al. 2001; D’Antonio and Meyerson 2002).”
