• Multiple agents in biological control: improving the odds? (2002, background): “However, there are many examples of successful biological control (Bellows, 2001; Caltagirone, 1981; McFadyen, 1998), and the need for biological control is increasing (Cory and Myers, 2000; Hawkins, 1993; McFadyen, 1998).”
• Ecological functions of neotropical amphibians and reptiles: a review (2015, background): “…among predators depends on prey availability (Blaustein & Chase 2007), evaluating predator-prey interactions may help to understand the role of a "natural enemy" in an ecosystem, either because it alters the food resources of other species or because it acts as a direct predator (Bellows 2001).”
• Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “Introduction of natural enemies into the invaded habitat can reduce a weed’s population density to levels similar to those that naturally occur in the home range, leading to a restoration of ecological balance and recovery of the previous floral diversity (Bellows, 2001).”
• Restoring Balance: Using Exotic Species to Control Invasive Exotic Species (2004, background): “With successful biological control programs, both the pest and the specialized natural enemy decline in abundance over time and reach densities similar to those seen in the pest’s home range (Bellows 2001).”
• Larvicidal Efficiency of Aquatic Predators: A Perspective for Mosquito Biocontrol (2006, background): “Notostracan tadpole shrimp have been considered to be potential predators adapted to ephemeral aquatic habitats in arid regions and rice paddy fields (Maffi 1962, Su and Mulla 2002). Maffi (1962) demonstrated that Triops granarius had the ability to decimate An.”
