Benefits of invasion prevention: Effect of time lags, spread rates, and damage persistence (2015, background): “Bioeconomic studies have considered optimal prevention investments for reducing impacts from invasive species (e.g., Olson and Roy, 2005; Carrasco et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2006; Finnoff et al., 2007; Leung et al., 2002; Rout et al., 2011).”
“Sight‐unseen” detection of rare aquatic species using environmental DNA (2011, background): “Targeting management earlier and in more appropriate locations will also improve the cost effectiveness of management (Leung et al. 2002).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “Prevention of new invasions is typically regarded as the most costeffective management action to avoid these impacts (Leung et al. 2002).”
Estimating the financial costs of freshwater invasive species in Great Britain: a standardized approach to invasive species costing (2011, background): “Management expenditures and damage levels potentially vary inversely with respect to one another ( Leung et al. 2002 ); therefore, combining the two for a given taxon in a single time period could double count overall costs.”
Studying invasion: have we missed the boat? (2005, background): “Invasion is a multi-step process (Williamson 1996; Kolar & Lodge 2001; Leung et al. 2002 ) comprised of three phases: initial dispersal (where an organism moves from its native habitat, often over long distances, to a new habitat outside of its home range), establishment of self-sustaining populati”
PREDICTING INVASIONS: PROPAGULE PRESSURE AND THE GRAVITY OF ALLEE EFFECTS (2004, background): “These functional forms will be useful, in general, for developing quantitative probabilistic risk analyses for invasive species (e.g., Leung et al. 2002).”
Alien flora of mountains: global comparisons for the development of local preventive measures against plant invasions (2011, background): “It is widely accepted that prevention of invasion is far more cost-effective than eradication or control once an invasion has occurred (e.g. Wittenberg & Cook, 2001; Leung et al., 2002; Lodge et al., 2006).”
Beyond control : wider implications for the management of biological invasions (2006, background): “The prevention of IAS introductions into and also within a region is widely promoted as being a far more costeffective and environmentally desirable strategy than actions undertaken after IAS establishment (Leung et al. 2002).”
Long‐term demography of a zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population (2006, background): “Strayer, Hattala & Kahnle, 2004), and caused millions of dollars of damage each year to water intakes and other structures (O’Neill, 1996; Leung et al., 2002).”
Population control of coypu Myocastor coypus in Italy compared to eradication in UK: a cost-benefit analysis (2007, result): “By comparing the present situation with forecasts of future developments, several authors have indirectly suggested that prevention (Leung et al. 2002), eradication (Zavaleta 2000) and control (Anderson et al. 2004) of invasive alien species are cost efficient in the long term compared to no-action.”
Optimal detection and control strategies for invasive species management (2007, background): “This characteristic has often been neglected in previous literature evaluating resource allocation between diverse management activities (Leung et al., 2002).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “We consider scales from global to local and emphasize long time horizons (decades to centuries) because they are most relevant to how human welfare is affected by biological invasions and the management of them (20).”
