Biological invasions: recommendations for U.S. policy and management. (2006, background): “…plants, mammals, and insects; for some freshwater plants and fishes; and for a few marine algae and invertebrates (Bax et al. 2002, Kuris 2003, Simberloff 2003; see also San Diego [California] Regional Water Control Board, available online).24 Many successful terrestrial programs have relied…”
A perfect storm: two ecosystem engineers interact to degrade deciduous forests of New Jersey (2008, background): “This may however be a matter of time, and taking a proactive approach to invasive species management may be the most effective way to eradicate them (Simberloff 2003).”
Technology innovation: advancing capacities for the early detection of and rapid response to invasive species (2019, background): “The larger the population and area it covers, the greater the likelihood that response options will no longer be feasible (Simberloff 2003).”
Late-Season Seed Production in Arable Weed Communities: Management Implications (2012, background): “Simberloff (2003) argued that zerothresholds (or eradication) should be considered for the management of a range of invasive organisms.”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “However, Simberloff (123) argued that while reinvasion detracts from the value of eradication, it does not necessarily make it a futile endeavor.”
Invasive Species: to eat or not to eat, that is the question (2012, background): “…to other citizen-science programs in which nonscientists aid scientists in their research (Bonney et al. 2009) and also to some control programs organized by many local conservation organizations in which volunteers contribute to the mechanical removal of invasive species (Simberloff 2003).”
Altitudinal distribution of alien plant species in the Swiss Alps (2005, background): “From a practical point of view, moreover, management to contain further invasions may be worthwhile in such systems, whereas it may be difficult or impossible in already heavily invaded areas (e.g. Mack, 1986; Thompson et al., 1987; Meekins and McCarthy, 1999; Sheley et al., 2000; Mack et al., 2000,”
The early detection of and rapid response (EDRR) to invasive species: a conceptual framework and federal capacities assessment (2019, background): “Although the Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW 2003) and Westbrooks (2004) do not define EDRR, they provide a series of statements about EDRR that contrast with other presentations of the concept (Table 2).”
Lag times and exotic species: The ecology and management of biological invasions in slow-motion (2005, background): “Altered trophic relationships, such as the removal of a native predator or herbivore, might cause the containment of an invader to suddenly end; there are a number of cases where removal of exotic grazers has caused explosions of formerly controlled weeds (Beatty & Licari, 1992; Simberloff, 2003).”
A Conceptual Framework for Preventing the Spatial Dispersal of Invasive Plants (2007, background): “Given the complexity and persistence of invasive plants, a proactive approach focused on systematic prevention and early intervention would be more cost-effective and successful than the existing reactive approach (Peterson and Vieglasis 2001; Simberloff 2003; Zavaleta 2000).”
Biological invasions in developing and developed countries: does one model fit all? (2010, background): “Major achievements have been produced in developing nations, for example, Anopheles gambiae, a vector of malaria, which was eradicated from large extensions of northeastern Brazil, which is evidence that in countries with low resources management of challenging exotics can be achieved (Simberloff 20”
Evaluation of weed eradication programs: the delimitation of extent (2005, methodology): “commitment compared with those targeting pest animals (Simberloff, 2003; Panetta & Timmins, 2004).”
Medusahead Dispersal and Establishment in Sagebrush Steppe Plant Communities (2008, background): “Preventing plant invasions would be more costeffective and successful than trying to control exotic plant infestations (Zavaleta 2000; Peterson and Vieglais 2001; Simberloff 2003), thus proactive medusahead management strategies need to be developed and evaluated (Torell et al. 1961).”
Eradication of invasive forest insects: concepts, methods, costs and benefits (2010, background): “Despite such successes, eradication is generally considered to be difficult, often requiring substantial input of resources and commitment from managers and stakeholders (e.g. Myers & Hosking, 2002; Simberloff, 2002, 2003).”
