• The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “Globally, non-native species are regarded as a principle driver of biodiversity decline and an ongoing threat to species and habitats (Mack et al., 2000;Manchester & Bullock, 2000; Gurevitch & Padilla, 2004; McGeoch et al., 2010).”
• When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “When feasible, eradication is a more ideal approach because, in theory, it is a one-time and permanent solution that is most likely to completely alleviate impacts of invasive species on ecosystems and society (Wittenberg and Cock 2001; Brokerhoff et al. 2010; McGeoch et al. 2010).”
• Species‐based risk assessments for biological invasions: advances and challenges (2013, background): “However, governments are increasingly seeing the need for preventing potentially harmful alien species from being introduced, and the requirement for formal RA protocols is becoming embedded in legislation in many parts of the world (McGeoch et al., 2010).”
• Invaders for sale: trade and determinants of introduction of ornamental freshwater crayfish (2012, background): “Non-indigenous species may perturb ecosystem functioning, wreak ecological havoc, and compete with or even replace indigenous species (Lodge et al. 2000; Sala et al. 2000; McGeoch et al. 2010).”
• A vision for global monitoring of biological invasions (2017, background): “This forms the essence of implementing sound policy and management actions (McGeoch et al., 2010).”
• EU adopts innovative legislation on invasive species: a step towards a global response to biological invasions? (2015, background): “Globally, an increasing number of invasive species legislative instruments, adopted at various scales, has thus far failed to reduce the overall rate of invasions (McGeoch et al. 2010).”
• Invasive Alien Plants of Indian Himalayan Region—Diversity and Implication (2012, background): “Alien species are non-native or exotic organisms that occur outside their natural adapted ranges and dispersal potential [6].”
• How wide is the “knowing-doing” gap in invasion biology? (2010, background): “…for reporting on the 2010 Biodiversity Target showed, for example, that much greater investment is required in research in developing countries, as well as in data collation and information delivery more generally, to inform policy makers of the status of biological invasion (McGeoch et al. 2010).”
• Plant Invasions in Protected Areas (2013, positive): “Global indicators for IAS under the Convention on Biological Diversity’s 2010 Biodiversity Target show that invasive species are causing a decline in species diversity of IUCN red-listed amphibians, birds and mammals (McGeoch et al. 2010).”
• Mapping the global state of invasive alien species: patterns of invasion and policy responses (2017, background): “Although both databases are limited to some extent by geographical and taxonomic bias and incompleteness (Westphal et al., 2008; McGeoch et al., 2010), they are the databases best suited to our study as they provide freely accessible comprehensive data across all recorded taxonomic groups globally.”
• An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “However, a global baseline of IAS is unavailable (Butchart et al. 2010; McGeoch et al. 2010), and national/regional data sets suitable for analysis of temporal patterns of biological invasions are rare for developing countries of the world, resulting a pattern that reflects geographical biases in…”
