• Host density thresholds and disease control for fisheries and aquaculture (2010, background): “…and then remain a chronic management challenge, such as the emergence of sea lice infestations in the Broughton Archipelago region of British Columbia (Morton & Williams 2003, Morton et al. 2004, Krko$ek 2009) or the Passamaquoddy Bay region of the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick (Hogans 1995).”
• Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “…as a consequence of spread from infected domestic animals (e.g. pathogen spillover has been implicated in the decline of wild fish populations, Morton et al. 2004; and in pathogen transmission from commercial to wild bumble-bees, Bombus terrestris (L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae), Colla et al.…”
• A review of the biology and genetics of sea lice (2006, background): “of the parasite between farmed and wild fish is causing much concern (Tully, 1992; Birkeland and Jakobsen, 1997; Tully and Nolan, 2002; Marshall, 2003; Morton et al., 2004).”
• Evidence for decline in eastern North American bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with special focus on Bombus affinis Cresson (2008, background): “Pathogen spillover has been implicated in the significant declines of many animals (Morton et al. 2004; Power and Mitchell 2004) but is a poorly understood threat for pollinators.”
• Salmon lice infection on wild salmonids in marine protected areas: an evaluation of the Norwegian 'National Salmon Fjords' (2014, background): “…Environ Interact 5: 1–16, 2014 farm-free areas (Butler 2002, Krkošek et al. 2005, Jansen et al. 2012), resulting in an increased lice infection risk for local populations of wild salmonids (Bjørn et al. 2001, 2011, Gargan et al. 2003, Morton et al. 2004, 2008, Middlemas et al. 2010, 2013).”
• Sea lice on adult Pacific salmon in the coastal waters of Central British Columbia, Canada (2005, background): “It is necessary to determine the sources of natural production of sea lice as there is concern that sea lice produced on farmed salmon may be increasing the early marine mortality of Pacific salmon ( Morton et al., 2004; McVicar, 2004).”
• Plight of the bumble bee: Pathogen spillover from commercial to wild populations (2006, background): “For example, parasitic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) spread into wild salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations when commercially-reared fish escape from infested salmon farms (Morton et al., 2004); such spillover has been implicated in the demise of wild fish cohorts in both Canada ( Morton et al”
