Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, background): “By far the most studied way in which parasites influence invasions is through their absence (Wolfe 2002; Mitchell & Power 2003; Torchin et al. 2003; Torchin & Mitchell 2004).”
Reduced plant–soil feedback of plant species expanding their range as compared to natives (2007, background): “Recently, soil pathogens have been identified as a potentially important group of organisms that can drive plant colonization and competition processes (Agrawal et al. 2005; Torchin & Mitchell 2004; Van der Putten et al. 2005).”
The role of infectious diseases in biological conservation (2009, background): “The success of introduced species has been attributed, in part, to release from the pathogens that regulate their native population, as these species may escape 475% of the pathogens found in their native range (Torchin & Mitchell, 2004).”
Can the enemy release hypothesis explain the success of invasive alien predators and parasitoids? (2011, background): “Alien species do accumulate new parasites and predators from the invaded range but possibly not in sufficient numbers to compensate the loss of enemy species from their native range (Torchin and Mitchell 2003).”
ENEMY RELEASE? AN EXPERIMENT WITH CONGENERIC PLANT PAIRS AND DIVERSE ABOVE- AND BELOWGROUND ENEMIES (2005, background): “This result suggests that geographic range sizes could be important drivers of species interactions, with more broadly distributed plants being subject to greater levels of colonization and attack (Strong et al. 1984, Torchin and Mitchell 2004).”
Predator-prey naïveté, antipredator behavior, and the ecology of predator invasions (2010, background): “Th e ‘enemy release’ hypothesis (link B) posits that the invasion of a non-native predator might be aided by a lack of top–down control of the invader’s population growth (Torchin et al. 2003, Colautti et al. 2004, Torchin and Mitchell 2004).”
Identification of exotic sailfin catfish species (Pterygoplichthys, Loricariidae) in Taiwan based on morphology and mtDNA sequences. (2011, methodology): “Specimens were identified based on keys provided by Weber (1991 1992) and Armbruster and Page (2006). The key characters distinguishing among the most similar 3 species were as follows: P.”
Introduced invertebrates are important prey for a generalist predator (2005, background): “Some introduced species have fewer specialist enemies than are encountered in their native range, enabling them to become hyper-abundant in recipient communities (Torchin & Mitchell, 2004).”
The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “Recent work suggests that: many introduced plants and animals have fewer fungal or viral pathogens in their new than in their source habitats (Callaway et al. 2004; Torchin and Mitchell 2004); introduced plants that are more invasive have fewer pathogens in their new habitats (Mitchell and Power 200”
Biotic interactions and plant invasions. (2006, background): “Interaction chains: apparent competition and indirect facilitation Invader success may be influenced by the abundance of enemies, mutualists or competitors that may or may not interact directly with the invader, but alter the abundances of other species that do (interaction chains, sensu Wootton…”
Life History and Population Dynamics of Green Crabs (Carcinus maenas) (2019, background): “maenas populations in many areas of Europe, and the escape from these natural enemies increases the performance where green crabs have invaded [353].”
Testing the enemy release hypothesis: a review and meta-analysis (2006, result): “Our data are consistent with that presented by similar studies, which provide strong support of ERH from data of the number of pathogen and parasite species and their infestation frequency of exotic vs native populations (Mitchell and Power 2003; Torchin and Mitchell 2004).”
The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “It should be noted that although perturbation of native host-parasite systems following rodent invasion is a little-studied subject, when it occurs it may have major implications for the population dynamics of both primary and intermediate host species, and of the parasites themselves (Prenter et al”
Biological invasions: recommendations for U.S. policy and management. (2006, background): “H. J. MacIsaac is grateful for funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans; comments from Marg Dochoda and Doug Jensen are appreciated.”
