The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Black, Grey and Watch Lists of alien species in the Czech Republic based on environmental impacts and management strategy (2016, background): “…sold for bait locally (e.g, http://arctos.database.museum/guid/KNWR:Ento:6753) suggests direct bait abandonment as the main method of introduction on the KNWR. Additional species may be expected to arrive at boat launches because fishing bait can contain other species as well (Tiunov et al. 2006).”
Distribution and impacts of invasive earthworms in Canadian forest ecosystems (2008, methodology): “In North America its distribution is limited to Canada (Fender 1985), so it can be assumed that it requires relatively cold conditions for survival.”
Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “In these areas, invasions take place in soils unoccupied by earthworms (e.g., Alban & Berry 1994, Frelich et al. 2006, Tiunov et al. 2006).”
Habitat quality, conspecific density, and habitat pre-use affect the dispersal behaviour of two earthworm species, Aporrectodea icterica and Dendrobaena veneta, in a mesocosm experiment (2010, background): “It would also help to explain the patterns of earthworms invasions in several regions (Tiunov et al., 2006).”
