Invasion success and impact of an invasive fish, round goby, in Great Lakes tributaries (2013, background): “High abundance is often considered a defining quality for invasive species (Kolar & Lodge, 2001; Valéry et al., 2008), but recent evidence (G.J.A. Hansen, M.J. Vander Zanden, M.J. Blum, M.K. Clayton, E.F. Hain, J. Hauxwell, M. Izzo, M.S. Kornis, P.B. McIntyre, A. Mikulyuk, E. Nilsson, J.D. Olden,…”
Risk and benefit assessment of alien fish species of the aquaculture and aquarium trade into India (2011, background): “auratus) and freshwater jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbyi), although these species are known to be invasive worldwide (Ricciardi & Cohen 2007; Valery et al. 2008).”
Reconstructing routes of invasion using genetic data: why, how and so what? (2010, background): “Paradoxically, there is still some debate about the definition of an ‘invasive’ species (Colautti & MacIsaac 2004; Valery et al. 2008), and current conceptual frameworks for biological invasions differ in the relative nce: Arnaud Estoup, Fax: +33 0 4 99 62 33 45; p@supagro.inra.fr well Publishing…”
Global indicators of biological invasion: species numbers, biodiversity impact and policy responses (2010, background): “This indicator does currently not include nationally extralimital species, that in some instances do have negative biodiversity impacts (Valéry et al., 2008).”
The arrival and spread of the bloom-forming, freshwater diatom, Didymosphenia geminata, in New Zealand. (2011, background): “Indeed, recent definitions of invasions do not always require non-indigenous status (or even detrimental impacts) (e.g., Valéry et al. 2008).”
Invasiveness potential of Miscanthus sinensis: implications for bioenergy production in the United States (2010, background): “…and environmental filters to become established in sites of introduction and subsequently spread via dispersal of seeds or vegetative propagules to establish new populations (Rejmanek, 2000; Richardson et al., 2000; Colautti & MacIsaac, 2004; Radosevich et al., 2007; Valery et al., 2008).”
The EPPO prioritization process for invasive alien plants (2010, methodology): “In this sense, the EPPO prioritization process evaluates the intrinsic behaviour of a species in a given environment rather than considering effects or consequences, which are as Valéry et al. (2008) state ‘circumstantial and variable’.”
Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “…processes are similar (Davis et al., 2000; Meiners et al., 2004) and arguments for not considering native species invasive some may consider weak (Valéry et al., 2008), we strongly advocate the use of invasion (and invaders) exclusively in the context of alien (nonindigenous) species whose…”
Native invaders – challenges for science, management, policy, and society (2012, methodology): “The terminology used to describe invasive species (also commonly called foreign, alien, or exotic species; see Valéry et al. 2008) has led to the perception that these organisms only originate from far-away regions and are transplanted vast distances, predominantly via human vectors.”
Multispecies comparison reveals that invasive and native plants differ in their traits but not in their plasticity (2011, background): “2004), local dominants in some native ecosystems (Valéry et al. 2008) and species with potential impact on native ecosystems (transformer species, sensu Richardson”
