• Giant reed (Arundo donax L.): A weed plant or a promising energy crop? (2012, background): “Arundo wasp has a short generation time, a prolific asexual reproductive capacity, and it increases the A. donax shoots mortality (McClay and Balciunas, 2005; van Klinken and Raghu, 2006).”
• Classical biological control: exploiting enemy escape to manage plant invasions (2008, methodology): “The use of scoring systems (e.g., Harris 1973; Goeden 1983) was the first attempt to make agent selection more rigorous (see also McClay and Balciunas 2005, for a more recent version of such scoring systems).”
