Exploring the relationship between nichie breadth and invasion success (2006, background): “…Henneman and Memmott 2001, van Klinken and Edwards 2002, Pearson and Callaway 2003), and these shifts are usually not the result of changes in the fundamental niche through rapid evolution, but an expression of a different realized niche under the new environment (van Klinken and Edwards 2002).”
What makes a successful biocontrol agent? A meta-analysis of biological control agent performance (2005, background): “However, in a recent review of host-specificity of biocontrol agents used against weeds, van Klinken and Edwards (2002) argued that the fundamental host range of insect herbivores commonly used as biocontrol agents is unlikely to change and the risk that a herbivore will rapidly evolve to expand i”
Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “In a review of the literature, van Klinken and Edwards (2002) found no evidence to suggest that introduced exotic agents were any more likely to expand their fundamental host range to include native plants than were native herbivores.”
Scientific advances in the analysis of direct risks of weed biological control agents to nontarget plants (2005, background): “Absence of evidence comes from post-release retrospective evaluations of biological control agents (Louda et al., 2003; Pemberton, 2000; van Klinken and Edwards, 2002), other recorded cases of host shifts in phytophagous arthropods (Marohasy, 1996), phylogenetic patterns of host range for…”
Host range of Tetramesa romana Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a potential biological control of giant reed, Arundo donax L. in North America (2009, methodology): “No-choice tests were used because they provided the clearest prediction of the fundamental host range (sensu Van Klinken and Edwards, 2002) of T. romana.”
How specialists can be generalists: resolving the “parasite paradox” and implications for emerging infectious disease (2010, background): “BROOKS, D.R. & M.G.P. VAN VELLER.”
Classical biological control: exploiting enemy escape to manage plant invasions (2008, background): “However, in those cases where host shifts have been shown to occur in a relatively short period of time, some initial level of acceptance of the derived host was already present at the beginning of the investigations (Thompson 1998; Schaffner 2001; van Klinken and Edwards 2002 ).”
Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “…assessment protocols for weed biological control were formalized in the 1970s (Wapshere 1974) and have been largely successful (Pemberton 2000; van Klinken and Edwards 2002; Paynter et al. 2004; Hinz et al. 2014; Suckling and Sforza 2014) but they had been notably absent from arthropod biological…”
HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “Although host shifts of introduced biocontrol agents to nontarget species appear to be rare (Van Klinken and Edwards 2002), there are a number of examples of genetically based shifts of native herbivores on to introduced hosts (Cox 1999, Keane and Crawley 2002).”
