• Developing biological control of Alliaria petiolata (M. Bieb.) Cavara and Grande (garlic mustard). (2001, background): “Appropriately funded and managed, complete or partial control was achieved in over 80% of programs in New Zealand and South Africa (Hoffmann 1995, Fowler et al. 2000).”
• New Zealand pest management: current and future challenges (2015, background): “Similarly, biological control of target weeds has, in some cases, reduced the problem by 50%–83% (Fowler et al. 2000, 2010; Paynter et al. 2010).”
• Biological control of weeds: an analysis of introductions, rates of establishment and estimates of success, worldwide (2018, background): “Interestingly, the values reported here for the percentages of target weeds controlled by countries and regions (Table 2) largely match those reported for Australia (Cullen et al. 2011), New Zealand (Hayes et al. 2013) and South Africa (Klein 2011).”
• Successful biological control of mist flower (Ageratina riparia) in New Zealand: Agent establishment, impact and benefits to the native flora (2007, background): “However, good monitoring data on reductions in weed populations, and on what plant species replaced the weed, are almost entirely lacking (Fowler et al., 2000a).”
• Multiple agents in biological control: improving the odds? (2002, background): “The lack of further evidence for indirect, negative effects is possibly due to the difficulty of assessing such effects (Fowler et al., 2000 ) and the absence of research (Hopper, 1998 ).”
• Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “Success rates are considerably higher when programs in individual countries are examined, e.g., New Zealand (83%; Fowler, 2000), Mauritius (80%; Fowler, Syrett, and Hill, 2000), South Africa (61%; Zimmermann, Moran, and Hoffmann, 2004), Australia (51%; McFadyen, 2000), and Hawaii (50%; Markin, Lai,…”
• Modelling integrated weed management of an invasive shrub in tropical Australia (2004, background): “Ecological Society, Journal of Applied Ecology , 41 , 547‐560 are required, accounts for approximately one-third of all completed biological control programmes ( Fowler, Syrett & Hill 2000 ).”
• How Safe Is Weed Biological Control? A Global Review of Direct Nontarget Attack (2019, methodology): “NewZealand is likely the country with the most thorough surveys for NTA worldwide (Fowler et al. 2000a, 2004; Paynter et al. 2004, 2018; Waipara et al. 2009).”
