Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species' Range Shifts (2012, background): “Following introduction, there may be beneﬁts from ( a ) a release from native enemies, ( b ) the absence of biotic resistance in the new range, and ( c ) the presence of generalist mutualistic symbionts (pollinators, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) in the new range that outweigh poor home-ﬁeld…”
Spatial dynamics of supercolonies of the invasive yellow crazy ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean (2006, background): “The phenomena of lag times prior to population explosions, whether rapid or gradual, is still poorly understood (Simberloff & Gibbons, 2004), but are well known for some invasions (Crooks & Soulé, 1999; Simberloff & Gibbons, 2004; Memmott et al., 2005).”
Ecology of forest insect invasions (2017, background): “noticed on a number of occasions that populations of invading non-native forest insects (after an initial lag) undergo a population explosion, which eventually collapses after several years (Simberloff and Gibbons 2004).”
Changes in the distribution and abundance of Dreissena polymorpha within lakes through time (2006, background): “…for many other invaders (Williamson, 1996; Crooks & Soulé, 1999; Mack et al., 2000; Kiritani & Yamamura, 2003), and the lag may range from dozens of years to less than one year depending on the individual species and habitats they invade (Kiritani & Yamamura, 2003; Simberloff & Gibbons, 2004).”
Is invasion success explained by the enemy release hypothesis (2004, background): “Is the accumulation of native and natural enemies responsible for the ‘boom-and-bust’ phenomenon that occurs in many introduced populations (Simberloff & Gibbons 2004)?”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “Simberloff and Gibbons (2004) have proposed that adaptation of resident predators or parasites might be responsible for delayed declines of invasive populations after an initial proliferation (the “boom and bust phenomenon”).”
Intra‐population variability of life‐history traits and growth during range expansion of the invasive round goby, Neogobius melanostomus (2012, background): “Density in an introduced species might be predicted to increase at the edges and remain relatively constant in the area where it was first introduced, but decreases in density are also known to occur years after establishment (Cox 2004; Simberloff & Gibbons 2004).”
Predatory fish invaders: Insights from Indo-Pacific lionfish in the western Atlantic and Caribbean (2013, background): “Populations of invasive species sometimes collapse spontaneously after rapid population growth (Simberloff and Gibbons, 2004).”
Can Invasive Species Facilitate Native Species? Evidence of How, When, and Why These Impacts Occur (2006, background): “Furthermore, temporal dynamics such as time-lags before population explosions (Crooks and Soulé 1999), or boom–bust population cycles (Simberloff and Gibbons 2004) will affect the development and strength of facilitative impacts.”
The elephant in the room: the role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology (2013, background): “Different mechanisms can operate at each stage; populations can either stagnate in a stage previous to invasion or recede to earlier stages, up to the point of local or regional extinction (Simberloff and Gibbons 2004).”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “While rising levels of world trade and travel have resulted in an ever-increasing arrival of alien species, most of them have failed to establish (124, 146).”
