Growth and life history traits of introduced pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) in Europe, and the relevance to its potential invasiveness (2007, background): “In Iberia, where freshwater fishes, and in particular its endemic species, evolved in the absence of piscivorous fishes, largemouth bass could be facilitating the invasion of pumpkinseed by reducing (or removing) potential competitors (see Ricciardi 2001 ) rather than impeding its establishment thr”
Predicting the number of ecologically harmful exotic species in an aquatic system (2007, background): “Although positive interactions among exotic species are common in some aquatic systems and can produce strong synergistic impacts (Ricciardi, 2001, 2005), we found no evidence that such interactions have augmented the frequency of native species declines in highly invaded areas.”
Rapid range extension of the Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus in France: potential consequences (2004, background): “This may in turn favour the future establishment of other Ponto-Caspian species in ecosystems colonised by D. villosus (“invasional meltdown hypothesis”, Simberloff & Von Holle 1999; Ricciardi 2001).”
Structuring evidence for invasional meltdown: broad support but with biases and gaps (2018, background): “For example, consider an indirect interaction where one non-native species A reduces the population of an enemy B of another nonnative species C (Ricciardi 2001; Nuñez et al. 2008).”
The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “…systems (Stachowicz 2001, Stachowicz and Byrnes 2006), and the invasional meltdown hypothesis (process 3) has received some empirical support, especially in aquatic systems (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000, Ricciardi 2001, Adams et al. 2003, O’Dowd et al. 2003, Floerl et al. 2004, Grosholz 2005).”
The more you introduce the more you get: the role of colonization pressure and propagule pressure in invasion ecology (2009, background): “Most temporal trends in numbers of established exotic species show an exponentially increasing accumulation of numbers of exotics (e.g., Cohen & Carlton, 1998, Ricciardi, 2001).”
Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “However, a few studies have contended that engineering alien species in coastal waters play a beneficial role in ecosystem functioning (Richardson et al. 2000, Ricciardi 2001, Sax & Gaines 2003), while most others assume that inva - ders affect native biota negatively.”
Secondary invasion of the round goby into high diversity Great Lakes tributaries and species at risk hotspots: potential new concerns for endangered freshwater species (2010, background): “zebra mussels), which to date have not entered many of these systems, but may no longer be limited (Ricciardi 2001).”
Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “For example, increased propagule pressure (from increased vector traffic) has also increased the opportunities for new invasions over time (Ricciardi, 2001).”
Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications (2005, background): “Facilitation of invaders by species that provide biogenic habitat or other resources that enhance the recruitment, growth, or survival of the invaders has been proposed as a mechanism for “invasion meltdowns” in natural ecosystems (Simberloff & von Holle 1999, Ricciardi 2001).”
Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “Numerous published accounts support both the invasional meltdown (e.g. Ricciardi 2001, Wonham et al. 2005, Parker et al. 2006) and biotic resistance paradigms (e.g. Stachowicz et al. 1999, Ruiz et al. 2000, Britton-Simmons 2006).”
Biological invasions in inland waters: an overview (2007, background): “The narrow thermal tolerance of C. fluminea may explain its absence from most of the Great Lakes system ( Ricciardi 2001 ), whereas salinity of that system was too low to allow for the successful reproduction of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (Milne Edwards), notwithstanding the frequent”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Both events involve species expanding beyond their historical biogeographic ranges, leading some authors to suggest that they differ only in public perception and value (Hoffmann and Courchamp 2016; but see Ricciardi 2007; Wilson et al. 2016).”
Propagule pressure: a null model for biological invasions (2006, background): “While this pattern is consistent with an 'invasional meltdown' scenario in which early invaders facilitate later ones (Simberloff and Von Holle 1999; Ricciardi 2001), it could also result from a propagule bias in which species from a particular donor area are differentially transported to the…”

Lake Superior: an invasion coldspot? (2003, background): “The ‘facilitative interaction’ hypothesis proposes that the establishment of ‘keystone’ NIS may facilitate the introduction of subsequent invaders through mu- tualistic or commensal interactions (Ricciardi, 2001).”
Viability of invertebrate diapausing eggs collected from residual ballast sediment (2003, unknown): “Transoceanic ships have been the dominant transport vector of nonindigenous species (NIS) to the Great Lakes for most of the 20th century (Mills et al. 1993; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000; Ricciardi 2001).”
