• After biocontrol: assessing indirect effects of insect releases (2005, methodology): “The proWle then was used to predict success probability in a new release program targeting Ageratina in New Zealand (Morin et al., 1997; also see Blossey et al., 2001 for projections of purple loosestrife control).”
• Nonindigenous Species of the Pacific Northwest: An Overlooked Risk to Endangered Salmon? (2009, background): “This shift may be detrimental to native fish species dependent on detrital food webs that peak in winter/spring (Blossey et al. 2001).”
• Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Stand defoliation occurred within 4 years at some release sites and later occurred more widely (Blossey et al., 2001b).”
• Herbivory alters resource allocation and compensation in the invasive tree Melaleuca quinquenervia (2005, background): “(Blossey et al., 2001), Salvinia molesta Mitchell (Room, 1990), and Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.”

• Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “For example, in Minnesota, concerns over worker safety because of the potentially harmful effects of exposure to herbicides resulted in a systematic reduction of the statewide spraying program for control of purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria L. (Lythraceae) (Blossey, Skinner, and Taylor, 2001).”
• Prospects for Importation Biological Control of the Soybean Aphid: Anticipating Potential Costs and Benefits (2004, background): “…to natural ecosystems or indigenoushumancultures canbe sogreat that it outweighs risks associated with the importation of rationallychosen and effective natural enemies (e.g., Room 1990, Simberloff and Stiling 1996, Pimentel 2000, Porter 2000, Blossey et al. 2001, DeLoach et al. 2003, Kuris 2003).”
• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, unknown): “…freshwater wetlands has altered decomposition rates and nutrient cycling, led to reductions in wetland plant diversity, reduced pollination and seed output of the native Lythrum alatum Pursh, and reduced habitat suitability for several specialized wetland bird species (Blossey et al. 2001).”
• Exotic plant species of the St Lawrence River wetlands: a spatial and historical analysis (2003, background): “…watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.), are believed to change vegetation structure, reduce the diversity of native plant species and associated wildlife, and alter the basic biogeochemical functions of wetlands (Aiken et al., 1979; Gaudet & Keddy, 1988; Mehra et al., 1999; Blossey et al., 2001).”
• Causes and Consequences of Invasive Plants in Wetlands: Opportunities, Opportunists, and Outcomes (2004, background): “Blossey et al. (2001) cite multiple impacts of this species on ecosystem functioning (cf. section VI) and on the native L. elatum, which can have reduced pollination and lower seed production in the presence of L. salicaria.”
