Population extinction in discrete-time stochastic population models with an Allee effect (2005, methodology): “Liebhold and Bascompte [28] simulated establishment and extinction probabilities based on a discrete-time model with an Allee effect that included an additive environmental noise term.”
Pathogens can Slow Down or Reverse Invasion Fronts of their Hosts (2005, neutral): “The peculiar role of the Allee effect in biological invasions has been increasingly acknowledged in recent studies (Lewis and Kareiva 1993; Kot et al. 1996; Veit and Lewis 1996; Grevstad 1999; Takasu et al. 2000; Owen and Lewis 2001; Wang and Kot 2001; Garrett and Bowden 2002; Petrovskii et al. 2002”
Optimal detection and control strategies for invasive species management (2007, background): “Several papers have shown that eradication is viable for small or isolated populations (Sharov and Liebhold, 1998; Olson and Roy, 2002; Liebhold and Bascompte, 2003).”
Eradication of invasive forest insects: concepts, methods, costs and benefits (2010, background): “This creates a population size threshold below which extinction is inevitable, and this can be exploited in eradication programmes (Liebhold & Bascompte, 2003; Tobin et al., 2009).”
The ecology, geopolitics, and economics of managing Lymantria dispar in the United States (2012, background): “Thus, many low-density L. dispar populations go extinct without any management intervention, whether they arrive in uninfested areas (Liebhold and Bascompte 2003) or along the leading edge (Whitmire and Tobin 2006).”
Interceptions of Nonindigenous Plant Pests at US Ports of Entry and Border Crossings Over a 17-year Period (2006, background): “Establishment rates may be especially low for species subject to strong Allee effects, assuming that most introductions are comprised of relatively few colonists or propagules (Hopper and Roush 1993; Lewis and Kareiva 1993; Courchamp et al. 1999; Grevstad 1999b; NRC 2002; Liebhold and Bascompte 2003”
The role of Allee effects in gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), invasions (2009, background): “A case study of the relationship between founding population size and rate of establishment success comes from western North America where gypsy moth is not currently established ( Liebhold and Bascompte 2003 ).”
The evidence for Allee effects (2009, methodology): “Three of the studies demonstrated the presence of strong Allee effects in a single species, gypsy moths (Fig. 8b, Liebhold and Bascompte 2003; Johnson et al. 2006; Tobin et al. 2007).”
To sample or eradicate? A cost minimization model for monitoring and managing an invasive species (2008, background): “Once colonies are detected, trapping is continued in the area for several years in order to confirm the persistence of the population and spatially delimit the area for eradication (Liebhold & Bascompte 2003).”
Connectivity of the American Agricultural Landscape: Assessing the National Risk of Crop Pest and Disease Spread (2009, background): “…are subject to an Allee effect, or lower per-capita reproductive success in small populations, the effects of reduced host availability may be even greater than would otherwise be predicted, as for Karnal bunt of wheat and gypsy moths (Garrett and Bowden 2002, Liebhold and Bascompte 2003).”
Finding optimal control strategies for invasive species: a density‐structured model for Spartina alterniflora (2004, background): “For an invasive species with a strong Allee effect, eradication is easier because it is only necessary to reduce the population density to below this threshold (Liebhold & Bascompte 2003).”
Multiple Allee effects and population management. (2007, background): “To eradicate a pest population with a strong Allee effect, itis,intheory, sufficient tobring itbelow its Alleethreshold [ 24 ].”
