• A review of current knowledge, risk and ecological impacts associated with non-native freshwater fish introductions in South Africa. (2014, background): “…and Leunda 2012); secondly, disentangling the impacts of other confounding factors such as river regulation, pollution and siltation is difficult and sometimes impossible (Didham et al. 2007); and lastly defining exactly what constitutes impacts and how these are measured (Ricciardi et al. 2013).”
• The importance of assessing positive and beneficial impacts of alien species (2020, background): “impacts, to some attributes of their recipient systems (Ricciardi et al. 2013; Jeschke et al. 2014).”
• Ecological Impacts of Alien Species: Quantification, Scope, Caveats, and Recommendations (2015, background): “…recognized as a key component of current global change, there is much debate among scientists and other stakeholders concerning, among other things, the scale of the changes caused by alien species and the extent to which management intervention is warranted (e.g., Richardson and Ricciardi 2013).”
• Towards a framework for understanding the context dependence of impacts of non‐native tree species (2020, background): “2.2 | Context dependence in per capita effects (E) Per capita effect, or the effect size per individual, is mediated by the effect traits of the species in question (Hulme et al., 2013; Ricciardi et al., 2013; Suding et al., 2008) and intraspecific variation in those traits.”
• Advancing impact prediction and hypothesis testing in invasion ecology using a comparative functional response approach (2014, positive): “Indeed, we tested the Environmental Matching Hypothesis of Ricciardi et al. (2013) and showed that the optimal maximum feeding rates as derived from functional responses are close to optimal growth or preferred temperatures of invasive species (Iacarella et al. unpubl. data).”
• Framework and guidelines for implementing the proposed IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) (2015, background): “…cycling, geomorphology, hydrology, habitat structure and various components of disturbance regimes (Brooks et al., 2004; Hendrix et al., 2008; Suarez & Tsutsui, 2008; Kenis et al., 2009; Winter et al., 2009; Vil a et al., 2011; Py sek et al., 2012; Ricciardi et al., 2013; Fei et al., 2014).”
• Global meta‐analysis of the impacts of terrestrial invertebrate invaders on species, communities and ecosystems (2016, background): “impacts (Ricciardi et al., 2013).”
• Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “However, few studies have quantified whether different densities of invaders have linear or non-linear effects on native populations and ecosystems (Yokomizo et al. 2009; Kulhanek et al. 2011; Ricciardi et al. 2013).”
• Comparing impacts of alien plants and animals in Europe using a standard scoring system (2015, background): “Predicting impact, however, has proven to be a challenge (Ricciardi et al. 2013).”
• Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…success and impact are often mediated by resource acquisition, a concept at the foundation of many hypotheses in invasion science (Catford et al. 2009; Ricciardi et al. 2013; Jeschke and Heger 2018) and that is relevant for both animals and plants (Rossiter-Racher et al. 2009; Ehrenfeld 2010).”
• Application of the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) to a global assessment of alien bird impacts (2016, background): “…the mechanisms and processes that lead to successful invasions; the species which have (or are likely to have) the most damaging impacts; and the most appropriate courses of action to prioritize and manage alien invasions (Ricciardi et al., 2013; Simberloff et al., 2013b; Kumschick et al., 2015).”
• Functional responses can unify invasion ecology (2017, background): “Also, whilst the invasion history of a species can help predict its impacts in new locations (Kulhanek et al. 2011; Kumschick et al. 2015), this is of no use for emerging or potential invaders, and again suffers from myriad context-dependencies (Ricciardi et al. 2013).”
• Capturing the complexity of biodiversity: A critical review of economic valuation studies of biological diversity (2015, background): “In fact, alien species’ effects on biodiversity are very case-specific and not generally negative (Ricciardi et al., 2013; see also Warren, 2007; Gurevitch and Padilla, 2004).”
• Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “Impact can be considered as any measurable change to ecosystem properties resulting from species introduction (Ricciardi et al. 2013), e.g. ecosystem productivity, species diversity and trait distributions.”
