• Biological control of water hyacinth with arthropods: a review to 2000. (2001, background): “An important difference is that N. bruchi populations develop better under eutrophic conditions (Heard and Winterton 2000) and, in polluted waterways, may complement the damage by N. eichhorniae.”
• A Review of the Biological Control Programmes on Eichhornia crassipes (C.Mart.) Solms (Pontederiaceae), Salvinia molesta D.S.Mitch. (Salviniaceae), Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae), Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc. (Haloragaceae) and Azolla filiculoides Lam. (Azollaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “…agents (Hill & Cilliers 1999; Hill & Olckers 2001) and laboratory trials provided empirical evidence that the impact of herbivory by the Neochetina weevils (Heard & Winterton 2000) and by E. catarinensis (Coetzee et al. 2007a) is reduced under high levels of plant growth-enhancing nutrients.”
• Biological control initiatives against water hyacinth in South Africa: constraining factors, success and new courses of action. (2001, background): “Heard and Winterton (2000) showed also that N.”
• Impact of nutrients and herbivory by Eccritotarsus catarinensis on the biological control of water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (2007, background): “bruchi at this site, which prefer plants with a high nutrient status (Heard and Winterton, 2000), may be only part of the solution to controlling water hyacinth on this dam.”
