Classical biological control: exploiting enemy escape to manage plant invasions (2008, background): “project, and that have also caused some recent controversy (Louda et al. 2003; Pearson and Callaway 2003; Thomas and Reid 2007): (i) selection of”
Bad side of a good beetle: the North American experience with Harmonia axyridis (2008, background): “However, like other exotic natural enemies that have had some negative impacts after establishment (Howarth 1991; Simberloff and Stiling 1996; Louda et al. 2003), H. axyridis is showing adverse impacts in its adventive range (Koch 2003).”
The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake (2012, background): “…the past 120 years rarely have resulted in negative environmental effects (Cock et al. 2009, 2010), although there are some exceptions (Howarth 1991; Louda et al. 2003; van Lenteren et al. 2006) including the recent case of the Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis) (van Lenteren et al. 2008).”
Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “These and some other cases led to a reevaluation of classical biological control as a risk-free strategy to control invasive pests and weeds (Howarth 1991; Simberloff and Stiling 1996; Follett and Duan 2000; Wajnberg et al. 2001; Louda et al. 2003).”
Selection of non-target species for host specificity testing of entomophagous biological control agents. (2005, background): “Subsequently, a number of papers on non-target effects have been published within the last ten years (e.g., Follett et al. 2000a,b; Lockwood et al. 2001; Louda et al. 2003a; Lynch and Thomas 2000; Lynch et al. 2001; Simberloff and Stiling 1996; Stiling and Simberloff 2000;Thomas and Willis 1998).”
After biocontrol: assessing indirect effects of insect releases (2005, background): “…public, government, and scientiWc communities in the USA have become skeptical of biocontrol programs because of their potential to cause both direct and indirect nontarget impacts (e.g., Beardsley, 1997; Louda et al., 1997, 2003a,b, 2005; McEvoy and Coombs, 2000; SimberloV and Stiling, 1996).”
The need for effective marking and tracking techniques for monitoring the movements of insect predators and parasitoids (2004, background): “…(predators and parasitoids) for the biological control of insect pests continues to increase, there is also growing concern over the threats posed by introduced, exotic insect and other enemies to natural biodiversity (Pimentel et al., 1984; Stiling and Simberlloff, 2000; Louda et al., 2003).”
Biological control of invasive species: solution or pollution? (2006, background): “…Rhinocyllus conicus, released for biocontrol of weedy thistles on the Great Plains, went on to attack over 20% of indigenous North American Cirsium species, including several rare species, and has been implicated in population declines of native flies feeding on these thistles (Louda et al. 2003).”
Ecological Effects of Transgenic Crops and the Escape of Transgenes into Wild Populations (2004, background): “For example, one reason introduced plants are believed to become invasive is that they have escaped from their natural enemies (Mack et al. 2000, Sakai et al. 2001, NRC 2002b, Louda et al. 2003, Mitchell & Power 2003, Callaway et al. 2004).”
Prospects for Importation Biological Control of the Soybean Aphid: Anticipating Potential Costs and Benefits (2004, background): “2002,Michaud2002a, Schellhorn et al. 2002, Benson et al. 2003, Louda et al. 2003, Secord 2003).”
Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, neutral): “(Asteraceae), became a case study for a call for greater scrutiny of classical biological control (Louda 1997; Louda et al. 2003).”
Harmonia axyridis: an environmental risk assessment for Northwest Europe (2008, background): “…have not resulted in unwanted side effects, some serious cases of non-target hazards by exotic biological control agents against insects and weeds have been recently reported (e.g. Boettner et al. 2000; Follett and Duan 2000; Wajnberg et al. 2000; Louda et al. 2003; van Lenteren et al. 2006a).”
Biological invasion of European tomato crops by Tuta absoluta: ecology, geographic expansion and prospects for biological control (2010, background): “The potential costs of releasing biological control agents include attack of non-target hosts in natural systems and unintended negative indirect effects (Louda et al. 2003; van Lenteren et al. 2006).”
