To be, or not to be, a non‐native freshwater fish? (2005, background): “For example, since the 1970s, 75% of the flora and fauna introduced into the Great Lakes has been linked to ballast water releases by ships of Eurasian origin (Ricciardi and MacIsaac, 2000).”
Bridging Troubled Waters: Biological Invasions, Transoceanic Shipping, and the Laurentian Great Lakes (2004, background): “Approximately 70% of the NIS that established in the Great Lakes since the mid-1980s are native to the Black Sea basin (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000, MacIsaac et al. 2001).”
Viability of invertebrate diapausing eggs collected from residual ballast sediment (2003, neutral): “Transoceanic ships have been the dominant transport vector of nonindigenous species (NIS) to the Great Lakes for most of the 20th century (Mills et al. 1993; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000; Ricciardi 2001).”
Effects of the non-indigenous cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi on the lower food web of Lake Ontario (2003, background): “Over the past 15 years the Laurentian Great Lakes, as well as many inland lakes in North America, have experienced a wave of invertebrate invasions from Eurasia (see Ricciardi & MacIsaac, 2000; Ricciardi, 2001).”
Spread of alien (non-indigenous) fish species Neogobius melanostomus in the Gulf of Gdansk (south Baltic) (2005, background): “Very often, colonization by alien species can be inhibited by the presence of strong and rich ecological connections in the biocenosis (Lodge 1993; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
Invasion risks posed by the aquarium trade and live fish markets on the Laurentian Great Lakes (2005, background): “This vector has historically accounted for approximately 30% of total introductions, although since 1970 its importance increased to greater than 75% (Mills et al. 1993; MacIsaac 1999; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000 ).”
Spatial and seasonal variability in the diet of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus): stable isotopes indicate that stomach contents overestimate the importance of dreissenids (2012, background): “Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are a serious concern in the Laurentian Great Lakes, where the structure and biological integrity of communities have been compromised (Mills et al. 1994; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
The Round Goby, Neogobius melanostomus, a Fish Invader on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean (2004, background): “accessible corridors between habitats, climatically matched regions, and disturbed environments) (Elton 1958; Lodge 1993; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
Overland dispersal of aquatic invasive species: a risk assessment of transient recreational boating. (2001, background): “How does this estimate of ‘‘propagule pressure’’ (sensu Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000) compare with subsequent patterns of inland invasion in adjacent areas?”
A management framework for preventing the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species (2008, background): “For example, the presence of zebra mussels in the Great Lakes is thought to facilitate the subsequent establishment of round goby (Apollonia melanostomus; Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
Geological and evolutionary underpinnings for the success of Ponto-Caspian species invasions in the Baltic Sea and North American Great Lakes (2002, background): “2), also known as the Ponto-Caspian basins (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000; Ricciardi 2001).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “There are numerous documented examples of parallel invasions, frequently of species from the same area of origin (Ricciardi and MacIsaac, 2000).”
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of coastal invasions (2002, background): “There are theoretical grounds for suspecting that as a given system becomes increasingly invaded, it becomes more susceptible to further introductions, thus, producing an ‘invasional meltdown’ [53], although currently there is only minimal evidence for this at present [ 12 ].”
The Baltic—a sea of invaders 1 (2002, background): “Most nonindigenous species discovered in the Great Lakes since the mid-1980s are Ponto-Caspian endemics and more are expected to arrive in the future (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
An invasion history for Cercopagis pengoi based on mitochondrial gene sequences (2001, background): “Each of these species first extended its distribution into Eastern Europe (Olenin and Leppäkoski 1999) and subsequently colonized North America (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000).”
