Review Article A global review of risk-benefit-cost analysis for the introduction of classical biological control agents against weeds: a crisis in the making? (2003, background): “The recent conflicts of interest around Tamarix spp. (saltcedar) (DeLoach et al., 2000) recommended solutions to mitigate possible non-target effects by initially caging releases to study the likely impacts of the agents in the field.”
Risk and ethics in biological control (2005, background): “…that beneWcial Xora rather than weeds is the outcome; and 5. partnerships will be sought to increase technology transfer and to ensure that research areas in which ARS does not have expertise (e.g., potential impacts on birds, as with the Tamarix program; DeLoach et al., 2000) are included.”
Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “In some areas, rare fish were found for the first time only after saltcedar was removed (DeLoach et al., 2000; Kennedy et al., 2005).”
Biological control of invasive plants through collaboration between China and the United States of America: a perspective (2006, background): “These invasive saltcedars cause damage to riparian areas in the western US by displacing native communities and degrading wildlife habitat as well as reducing stream flow and groundwater level (DeLoach et al. 2000).”
Host specificity of the leaf beetle, Diorhabda elongata deserticola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from Asia, a biological control agent for saltcedars (Tamarix: Tamaricaceae) in the Western United States (2003, methodology): “DeLoach (1991), DeLoach and Tracy (1997), DeLoach et al. (2000), and Dudley et al. (2000) analyzed the environmental issues and concluded that the benefits from biological control of saltcedar far outweighed any probable negative effects, and that many declining plant and animal species (including p”
The Rise and Fall of Biotic Nativeness: A Historical Perspective (2010, background): “Is this what motivates accusing Tamarix of ‘ stealing ’ water (for example Robinson 1952 ) or degrading wildlife habitats (for example De Loach et al. 1999 )?”
Biology of Diorhabda elongata deserticola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), an Asian leaf beetle for biological control of saltcedars (Tamarix spp.) in the United States (2003, background): “…invading riparian ecosystems in the Southwestern United States, populations of several species of birds and fishes are in severe decline and some have become threatened or endangered (Anderson and Ohmart, 1977; DeLoach et al., 2000; Dudley et al., 2000; Hunter, 1984; Tracy and DeLoach, 1999).”
Defoliation by introduced Diorhabda elongata leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) reduces carbohydrate reserves and regrowth of Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) (2007, background): “One of the most serious invasions of a noxious weed within the United States involves species of the exotic genus Tamarix L. (Tamaricales: Tamaricaceae) (Robinson, 1965; Stein and Flack, 1996; DeLoach et al., 2000).”
