• Bombus terrestris, pollinator, invasive and pest: An assessment of problems associated with its widespread introductions for commercial purposes (2010, background): “Early seasonal emergence, particularly of queens (Sladen, 1912; Prys-Jones and Corbet, 1991; Matsumura et al., 2004; Ings et al., 2005; Inoue et al., 2008) and long activity periods (Inari et al., 2005; Japan) could deplete spring resources before local species of Bombus (and other bees) are able…”
• Mitigating the anthropogenic spread of bee parasites to protect wild pollinators (2015, background): “In the early 1990's B. terrestris became established in Japan, having escaped from commercial glasshouses (Inoue et al., 2008; Nagamitsu et al., 2007).”
• Predicting the invasion risk by the alien bee-hawking Yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax across Europe and other continents with niche models (2011, background): “…and bees, are among the most successful invaders of new habitats worldwide, their reproductive and dispersal strategies making them fierce antagonists of native biota (Hingston and McQuillan, 1999; Chapman and Bourke, 2001; Holway et al., 2002; Paini and Dale Roberts, 2005; Inoue et al., 2008).”
• Climatic Risk and Distribution Atlas of European Bumblebees (2015, background): “Moreover, international trade appears more as a major threat for the bumblebee fauna rather than a hope for their conservation (Inoue et al., 2008; Kanbe et al., 2008; Yoon et al., 2009; Nagamitsu et al., 2010; Aizen et al., 2011; Meeus et al., 2011; Arbetman et al., 2013a,b; Murray et al., 2013).”
• Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “Inoue et al. (2008) have suggested that competition for nesting sites is the main mechanism for the displacement of native bumblebees by B. terrestris.”
• Unveiling cryptic species of the bumblebee subgenus Bombus s. str. worldwide with COI barcodes (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2012, background): “For example in Japan, B. terrestris was introduced into glasshouses, but feral colonies were soon discovered and the species is spreading and replacing the indigenous B. hypocrita (Matsumura et al., 2004; Inoue et al., 2008).”
