Interceptions of Nonindigenous Plant Pests at US Ports of Entry and Border Crossings Over a 17-year Period (2006, background): “Liebhold et al. (2006) present an example of one previously published analysis where interceptions of the Mediterranean fruit fly in the PIN data were interpreted incorrectly.”
Alien forest insects in a warmer world and a globalised economy: impacts of changes in trade, tourism and climate on forest biosecurity. (2010, background): “Liebhold et al. (2006) analysed historical records of interceptions of alien insects in air passenger baggage by United States Department of Agriculture inspectors, and concluded that baggage is a significant invasion pathway.”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “1, we considered the types of insects commonly associated with mail to be similar to those intercepted in passenger baggage (Table 1; Liebhold et al. 2006).”
Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, background): “Despite increasing awareness of the impacts of invasive forest pests and regulatory efforts, non-native, phytophagous insects continue to be introduced into new habitats through international trade and travel (Work et al. 2005; Liebhold et al. 2006; McCullough et al. 2006).”
Alien Terrestrial Invertebrates of Europe (2009, background): “Pathways as diverse as the trade in aquarium plants and in reptile pets (Gonzalez-Acuna et al. 2005) or fruits taken back home during international flights ( Liebhold et al. 2006 ) are other opportunities of translocation for alien invertebrates.”
The role of Allee effects in gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), invasions (2009, background): “DISCUSSION Biological invasions continue to occur worldwide due to dramatic increases in world trade and travel (Vitousek et al. 1996; Work et al. 2005; Brockerhoff et al. 2006; Liebhold et al. 2006; McCullough et al. 2006).”
