Contradiction in Conservation of Island Ecosystems: Plants, Introduced Herbivores and Avian Scavengers in the Canary Islands (2006, background): “In consequence, their eradication, when feasible, is usually recommended (Myers et al. 2000; Simberloff 2001).”
Molecular genetic tools for environmental monitoring of New Zealand's aquatic habitats, past, present and the future (2013, background): “The detection of an invasive species soon after an incursion, when the population is still confined to a small area and at a low density, maximises the probability of effective management (e.g. the eradication of the black-striped mussel (Mytilopsis sallei) from Darwin, Australia; Simberloff 2001).”
Interceptions of Nonindigenous Plant Pests at US Ports of Entry and Border Crossings Over a 17-year Period (2006, background): “These efforts are usually costly, may require intensive pesticide applications and are not always successful (Dahlsten et al. 1989; Myers et al. 2000; Simberloff 2001; Liebhold and Bascompte 2003).”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “Of course, there are also many examples of highly successful eradication efforts (89, 122, 123).”
Turning back the tide of American mink invasion at an unprecedented scale through community participation and adaptive management. (2011, background): “Many alien opportunistic predator species have caused fundamental changes in ecosystems via their impacts on native species (Simberloff, 2001).”
Potential Impact of Filter-feeding Invaders on Temperate Inland Freshwater Environments (2002, background): “However, the elimination of the entire invading population is seldom tackled for three reasons (Simberloff 2001): it is”
Biological control of marine invasive species: cautionary tales and land-based lessons (2003, unknown): “…potential pests when populations are small, by methods that (unlike classical biocontrol introductions) are not irreversible, is an overlooked early response that may be appropriate for many kinds of invasions (Dahlsten et al. 1989; Bax 1999; Thresher 1999; Culver and Kuris 2000; Simberloff 2001).”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “Because of their clearly demarcated borders and limited areas, management responses to IASs can be more decisive on islands (Simberloff 2001).”
Islands and introduced herbivores: conservation action as ecosystem experimentation (2002, background): “While the eradication of non-native mammals from islands is important in conservation (Towns, Atkinson & Daughtery 1990; Donlan et al. 2000; Simberloff 2001), it also provides opportunities for large-scale applied experiments on ecosystems.”
A Review of Feral Cat Eradication on Islands (2004, background): “Between 1925 and 1980, cats were removed from nine islands; Conservation Biology Volume 18, No. 2, April 2004 cat ( Felis catus) eradication campaigns have been successfully carried out. most are offshore islands of New Zealand (Veitch 1995).”
When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “Eradication (zero population) compared to suppression (low population) is difficult to achieve in many circumstances (Myers et al. 1998; Simberloff 2001; Kiett et al. 2011; Pluess et al. 2012; Tobin et al. 2014), yet it is sometimes stated as the population-level management goal even for some hard t”
The diet of feral cats (Felis catus L.) at five sites on the Grande Terre, Kerguelen archipelago (2002, background): “Thus, eliminating alien mammals on small islands (rats: up to 31 km2, Taylor et al. 2000; Micol and Jouventin 2002; cats: up to 290 km2 on Marion Island; Bloomer and Bester 1992; rabbits: up to 8 km2 on SaintPaul Island; Micol and Jouventin 2002; T. Micol, unpublished data) is feasible.”
The Structure of Plant-Animal Mutualistic Networks (2006, background): “Increases in commerce and travel have lead to an increase of exotic species with fatal consequences for native plants and animals (Liebhold et al. 1995, Vitousek et al. 1996, Simberloff 2001).”
Research for Requiems: the Need for More Collaborative Action in Eradication of Invasive Species (2003, background): “Diversity”
The Allee effect, stochastic dynamics and the eradication of alien species (2003, background): “There is currently considerable interest in eradication both because of the increasing numbers of invasion events and frequent scepticism as to whether eradication is a feasible goal (Perkins 1989; Myers et al. 1998; Myers et al. 2000; Simberloff 2001 ).”
Have the Harmful Effects of Introduced Rats on Islands been Exaggerated? (2006, background): “Despite numerous completed eradications of rodents, especially in New Zealand, there are few publications in the primary literature that describe the benefits (Simberloff 2001).”
