• Controlling invasive plant species in ecological restoration: A global review (2020, background): “…control can have variable effectiveness (see Hulme, 2006 for an example of low and Clewley et al., 2012 for an example of high effectiveness), and should be subjected to rigorous cost–benefit analysis, weighting the benefits, costs and ecological outcomes (Culliney, 2005; Louda & Stiling, 2004).”
• Management of invasive plants through ecological resistance (2017, background): “Biological control of invasive species can be a valuable tool because it may be potentially self-sustaining, non-polluting and relatively inexpensive (Culliney 2005).”
• An economic assessment of the contribution of biological control to the management of invasive alien plants and to the protection of ecosystem services in South Africa (2010, background): “Ecological Economics 52: 355-366 Culliney TW (2005) Benefits of classical biological control for managing invasive plants.”
• Pathogen accumulation and long‐term dynamics of plant invasions (2013, background): “Research on post-introduction evolution (Maron et al. 2004) and the introduction of biological controls (reviewed by Culliney 2005) suggests that interactions of invasive species with enemies, competitors and mutualists can co-evolve and feedback to affect the dynamics of invasive species over time.”
• Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “Thus, while biological control introductions can produce very favorable cost/benefit ratios (Gutierrez et al. 1999; Culliney 2005), this may not be directly relevant to environmental risks.”
• Biological control of weeds: an analysis of introductions, rates of establishment and estimates of success, worldwide (2018, background): “(Verbenaceae) was targeted for CBC in Hawaii, the discipline has yielded some impressive outcomes in a variety of environments (Bangsund et al. 1999; Clewley et al. 2012; Culliney 2005; de Lange and van Wilgen 2010; Goeden 1988; Room et al. 1981; Suckling 2013; van Driesche et al. 2010).”
• Where will conflicts between alien and rare species occur after climate and land-use change? A test with a novel combined modelling approach (2011, background): “This is most important when facing financial resource limitations for land management and invasion control (Perrings et al. 2002; Culliney 2005).”
