A review of current knowledge, risk and ecological impacts associated with non-native freshwater fish introductions in South Africa. (2014, background): “…mechanisms include: specifically chosen species with proven establishment rates and prior invasion success elsewhere (Marchetti et al. 2004b; Ribeiro et al. 2007; Ruesink 2005); high propagule pressure (Copp et al. 2007; Leprieur et al. 2008) and physiological tolerances (Marchetti et al. 2004b).”
Development characteristics of the box‐tree moth Cydalima perspectalis and its potential distribution in Europe (2014, background): “Species extinctions and range expansions are natural processes over an evolutionary timescale, but human-caused introductions and extinctions significantly exceed the background rate (Clavero and Garc ıa-Berthou 2005; Simberloff and Rejm anek 2011).”
Equilibrium or not? Modelling potential distribution of invasive species in different stages of invasion (2012, methodology): “…2002), are well suited for modelling actual distributions of invasive species, but these approaches should incorporate measures of dispersal and colonization processes that constrain invaders from occupying all potentially suitable ranges (Vaclavik & Meentemeyer, 2009; Vaclavik et al., in press).”
The global spread of crop pests and pathogens (2014, background): “A fundamental assumption in these approaches is that pests and pathogens, as with other invasive species, are not found in all areas suitable for them (Václavík & Meentemeyer, 2009).”
Another call for the end of invasion biology (2013, background): “…Simberloﬀ 2011a for a very detailed historical analysis), the restriction of the ﬁ eld that it introduces is considered by many researchers today as one founding principle of the discipline (Richardson et al. 2000, Colautti and MacIsaac 2004, Richardson and Pysek 2004, 2006, Wilson et al. 2009a).”
Ecological Opportunity and Adaptive Radiation (2016, background): “Nonetheless, few examples exist of one species causing the global (as opposed to local) extinction of another species as a result of interspecific competition (Davis 2013).”
Invasion of alien macroalgae in different Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “The ecological role of invaders is still debated, as their dominance can be related to the lost of native diversity by competitive displacement (driver species) or it can be a consequence of habitat loss (passenger species) (MacDougall and Turkington 2005).”
Pathways and gateways of freshwater invasions in Europe (2015, background): “In Europe, the general trend is to farm mostly alien species (Turchini and De Silva 2008), which has caused the introduction of numerous species as commodities or accidental contaminants of the introduced commodities, often leading to irreversible ecological impacts (Naylor et al. 2001; Gozlan 2008;”
Occupation, body size and sex ratio of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in established and newly invaded areas of an Ontario river (2011, background): “…and cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus; Somers et al., 2003)], propagule pressure during an invasion, the magnitude of environmental disturbance (MacDougall & Turkington, 2005), and abiotic factors (Moyle & Light, 1996) that can aid or restrict population spread (e.g. Argentinean ants, Holway,…”
Are invasives worse in freshwater than terrestrial ecosystems? (2015, background): “A suitable response to this situation might comprise a threefold approach, incorporating: (1) a renewed research focus, aimed at auditing the full range of all impacts of a selection of freshwater invasive species, to catalog and understand the full ecological and socioeconomic costs of their presen”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Américo Vespucio 26, Isla de la Cartuja, 41092 Isla de la Cartuja, Spain.”
The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Insect Pests (2021, background): “The spread of species to regions outside their original range has accelerated exponentially over the last millennium due to international travel, the global trading system and agriculture [134].”
Non-physical barriers to deter fish movements (2012, background): “Of the documented extinction cases where causes are understood, 54% were influenced to some degree by invasive species (Clavero and Garcia-Berthou 2005).”
