An Allee effect at the front of a plant invasion: Spartina in a Pacific estuary (2004, background): “However, S. alterniflora in Willapa Bay was not exposed to any specialist, or generalist, insect herbivores (Daehler & Strong 1997) until a recent biological control release (Grevstad et al. 2003).”
Population ecology of the invasive kelp Undaria pinnatifida in California: environmental and biological controls on demography (2004, background): “Native herbivore impacts on algal invaders Native herbivores can be capable of effectively controlling the spread of newly invasive species (Broughton 2000, Dhileepan et al. 2000, Grevstad et al. 2003).”
The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “In Willapa Bay, Washington, however, a trial program was initiated in 2000 to control Spartina alterniflora using the planthopper, Prokelisia marginata, with promising early results (Grevstad et al. 2003).”
HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “A biocontrol program involving the release of P. marginata in Willapa Bay, Washington, hopes to exploit the susceptibility of the introduced populations (Grevstad et al. 2003).”
Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Evaluations of establishment of the fly are in progress.”
Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, methodology): “Consequently, above-ground biomass per area served as a proxy for annual production; these values were available for Willapa Bay in Grevstad et al. (2003), as mean values for 3 locations.”
Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “…may create unknown shifts in trophic structure, as has been the case with many other invasive macrophytes including Caulerpa taxifolia, C. racemosa, Undaria pinnatifida, Caulerpa racemosa, and Spartina spp. (Meinesz and Hesse, 1991; Verlaque et al., 2000; Grevstad et al., 2003; Casas et al., 2004).”
Causes and Consequences of Invasive Plants in Wetlands: Opportunities, Opportunists, and Outcomes (2004, background): “…in the productivity and vigor of invasive wetland plants upon exposure to host-specific biocontrol agents (e.g., for Lythrum salicaria in North America, Blossey et al., 1994a, 1994b; Voegtlin, 1995; Nyvall and Hu, 1997; for Spartina alterniflora in Washington, U.S. Grevstad et al., 2003).”
Biological control of invasive plants through collaboration between China and the United States of America: a perspective (2006, background): “Impact of the insect on the plant is under evaluation (Daehler and Strong 1995; 1997; Grevstad et al. 2003).”
