Crying wolf, crying foul, or crying shame: alien salmonids and a biodiversity crisis in the southern cool-temperate galaxioid fishes? (2006, background): “Simberloff (2001) reminded us of Elton’s prophetic warning, and noted that ‘‘not many people cared, not even ecologists’’, though some did (McDowall 1968c).”
Live plant imports: the major pathway for forest insect and pathogen invasions of the US (2012, background): “There is, moreover, an intrinsic weakness in any system that relies on knowing what pests exist on ornamental crops in the country of origin, because such background knowledge is not robust (Simberloff 2000, 2001; Reaser et al. 2008).”
Response of non-native lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) to 15 years of harvest in Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park (2011, background): “Non-native species have long been recognized as a driver of the global decline in biodiversity (Vitousek et al. 1997; Simberloff 2001) and are often ranked second to habitat loss and degradation as the most prevalent threat to freshwater biodiversity (Miller et al. 1989; Cambray 2003; Dextrase and…”
Avoiding surprise effects on Surprise Island: alien species control in a multitrophic level perspective (2009, background): “…those discussing conservation strategies toward the management of exotic species, evaluating the conservation benefits of their control or reporting research on eradication techniques, are still greatly underrepresented in the literature (Donlan et al. 2003; Lavoie et al. 2007; Simberloff 2001).”
Saving camels from straws: how propagule pressure-based prevention policies can reduce the risk of biological invasion (2008, background): “We thus echo Simberloff (2001) in urging the US to adopt an invasive species policy that combines ‘‘white and black lists,’’ and that prioritizes first time introductions of a species for analysis (while not ignoring those that already have propagules in distribution).”
Introduced species policy, management, and future research needs (2005, background): “Richardson 1995; Kolar and Lodge 2002), so blanket exemptions are unlikely ever to be defensible on ecological grounds (Simberloff 2001).”
Species invasions and the changing biogeography of Australian freshwater fishes (2007, background): “While only a fraction of non-indigenous species become invasive (Jeschke & Strayer, 2006), those that do represent a leading threat to national economies and human health, and cause tremendous ecological damage ranging from the extinction of native species to alteration of ecosystem processes (Vitou”
Increasing forest loss worldwide from invasive pests requires new trade regulations (2014, background): “These forests are now less diverse, and all chestnut-dependent species have been reduced in abundance (Simberloff 2001).”
