Pathogens can Slow Down or Reverse Invasion Fronts of their Hosts (2005, positive): “…there seems to be strong empirical evidence that pathogens and parasites play a major role in invasion biology, cf. Keane and Crawley (2002), Torchin et al. (2002), Clay (2003), Tompkins et al. (2003), Anderson et al. (2004), Lee and Klasing (2004), Prenter et al. (2004) and references therein.”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “…replacement of native red squirrels by nonnative grey squirrels in Europe is mediated by the natives’ lack of immunity to a virus carried by the greys (Tompkins et al. 2003), (2) a fungal pathogen carried by nonnative North American crayfish has decimated native crayfish populations throughout…”
Is invasion success explained by the enemy release hypothesis (2004, background): “Similarly, the on-going replacement of native red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the UK by introduced grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) appears to be the result of enhanced vulnerability of the former to a parapoxvirus introduced with the latter (Tompkins et al. 2003).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “For instance, squirrels (Tompkins et al., 2003) or ladybirds (Vilcinskas et al., 2013) introduced into Europe seem to replace local competitors through the activity of viruses and microsporidiae, respectively, carried from their homelands.”
Dogs Canis familiaris as carnivores: their role and function in intraguild competition (2009, background): “Journal compilation © 2009 Mammal Society, Mammal Review, 39, 265–283 2000a; Tompkins et al., 2003).”
Parasites, pathogens, and invasions by plants and animals (2004, background): “…it is not the topic of this review, introduced parasites and pathogens can sometimes have serious impacts on native communities (Dobson and Hudson 1986; Dove 2000; Rizzo and Garbelotto 2003) and the introduction of parasites may even facilitate some invasions (Dove 2000; Tompkins et al. 2003).”
Origin matters: alien consumers inflict greater damage on prey populations than do native consumers (2013, background): “…to alien herbivores (e.g. Parker et al., 2006; Verhoeven et al., 2009; Desurmont et al., 2011; Morrison & Hay, 2011), and there is abundant evidence demonstrating the influence of na€ıvet e on the impacts of alien pathogens and parasites (Martin, 2001; Tompkins et al., 2003; Wyatt et al., 2008).”
Can the enemy release hypothesis explain the success of invasive alien predators and parasitoids? (2011, background): “In some cases, exotic parasites hitch-hike with an invading host and can have devastating effects on invaded communities through for example, pathogen spillover that can facilitate the invasion process (Reynolds 1988; Rizzo and Garbelotto 2003; Tompkins et al. 2003).”
Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, methodology): “We have argued that detailed modelling of the type used in the grey squirrel invasion (Tompkins et al. 2003) is a useful approach to gain an understanding in which of these specific examples the disease is likely to be or have been important.”
