• Modelling the potential geographic distribution of invasive ant species in New Zealand (2007, methodology): “The model of Korzukhin et al. (2001) has also been applied on a global scale by Morrison et al. (2003).”
• Ecological niches and potential geographical distributions of Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) and Natal fruit fly (Ceratitis rosa) (2007, background): “Several avenues of research have demonstrated accurate predictions of invasive species’ potential distributions (Peterson & Vieglais, 2001; Welk et al., 2002; Peterson, 2003; Peterson & Robins, 2003; Peterson et al., 2003a,b; Morrison et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2005).”
• Determinants for the successful establishment of exotic ants in New Zealand (2005, result): “However, the global model of Morrison et al. (2004) is in agreement with my categorization, for they predict reproduction of colonies in New Zealand to be ‘unlikely’ or at best ‘possible’.”
• The ecology, policy, and management of ants in Hawaii (2005, background): “If S. invicta establishes in Hawaii, it is likely to invade most non-rainforest areas, except for the highest-elevation areas on Hawaii’s volcanoes (VanGelder and Korzhukin 2001, Morrison et al. 2004).”
• Environmental data sets matter in ecological niche modelling: an example with Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis richteri. (2007, background): “As such, a detailed understanding of the invasive potential of these species is of considerable interest ‐ several previous studies have addressed these questions as well (Stoker et al. , 1994; Killion & Grant, 1995; Korzukhin et al. , 2001; Morrison et al. , 2004; Fitzpatrick & Weltzin, 2005; Sut”
• The spread of invasive species and infectious disease as drivers of ecosystem change (2008, background): “Climate change will probably extend the range of fire ants northward (Morrison et al. 2004).”
