• Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, background): “Because of its introduction into the UK, the grey squirrel has ‘replaced’ the red squirrel throughout most of England and Wales and in parts of Scotland and Ireland (Bryce 1997; O’Teangana et al. 2000; Gurnell et al. 2004).”
• Wild tree squirrels respond with multisensory enhancement to conspecific robot alarm behaviour. (2009, unknown): “…eastern grey squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, is a tree squirrel native to the eastern U.S.A. (Koprowski 1994) that has been well studied for its ecology and management (e.g. Steele et al. 1998; Huxley 2003; Maslovat 2003; Gurnell et al. 2004; Koprowski 2005) but less often for its social behaviour.”
• Effects of nonindigenous tadpoles on native tadpoles in Florida: evidence of competition (2005, background): “As a result, studies assessing the role of interspecific competition as a mechanism of impact of nonindigenous species are few, especially among vertebrates (but see Petren et al., 1993; Petren and Case, 1996; Kupferberg, 1997; Kiesecker and Blaustein, 1998; Gurnell et al., 2004).”
• Negative effects of Corbicula fluminea over native freshwater mussels (2018, background): “, 2008), mainly when those are scarce and become insufficient to support all organisms (Wiens, 1977; Gurnell et al., 2005).”
• Animal trade and non‐indigenous species introduction: the world‐wide spread of squirrels (2009, background): “The American grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) has been introduced many times into Europe, where it is driving the native European red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) to extinction on account of competitive exclusion, which is also mediated by a squirrel poxvirus (Gurnell et al., 2004).”
• Behavioural interference between ungulate species: roe are not on velvet with fallow deer (2011, background): “Overlap amplifies the potential for interspecific competition, which may depend on a variety of factors, e.g. availability of a scarce resource or the introduction of alien taxa (Hobbs et al. 1996; Arsenault and Owen-Smith 2002; Gurnell et al. 2004; Ahola et al. 2007).”
• A grey future for Europe: Sciurus carolinensis is replacing native red squirrels in Italy (2013, background): “Competitive interactions between introduced and native species have been shown in several studies (e.g. Cadi & Joly 2003; Gurnell et al. 2004; Glen and Dickman 2008).”
