The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Trade, transport and trouble: managing invasive species pathways in an era of globalization (2009, background): “Not surprisingly, island ecosystems are often the most invaded and threatened worldwide (Donlan & Wilcox 2008).”
The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “Any latitudinal bias may be due to differences in research effort, or to inherent vulnerability of invertebrate species at higher latitudes, for instance due to slower population growth rates or lower diversity in high-latitude invertebrate communities (Chown et al., 2004; Donlan and Wilcox, 2008).”
Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, background): “In environmental terms, islands, by example, with their unique and varied biodiversity have suffered disproportionately from invasive species, which are responsible for half to two-thirds of all species extinctions (Donlan and Wilcox 2008, IUCN 2009b).”
