Live plant imports: the major pathway for forest insect and pathogen invasions of the US (2012, background): “…mail, and cargo are randomly sampled at seven of the 17 Plant Inspection Stations and undergo more thorough inspection processes to produce statistically based estimates of approach rates (percent of inspected shipments that are found to be infested) for potential pests (Work et al. 2005).”
Reconstructing routes of invasion using genetic data: why, how and so what? (2010, background): “Routine controls carried out in airports and harbours by quarantine services and monitoring by environmental or agricultural agencies are particularly informative in this respect (Work et al. 2005).”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “The arrival phase is an equally important phase of the invasion process but mostly does not involve population processes; readers are encouraged to consult other sources (34, 52, 81, 149, 127) that have investigated invasion pathways and arrival processes.”
Few immigrant phytophagous insects on woody plants in Europe: legacy of the European crucible? (2007, background): “However, this could still be a large absolute number because Work et al. (2005) estimated that ca. 10 new insect immigrants/year may have become established in the US between 1997 and 2001 via maritime ports, and border crossings.”
Invasive Cerambycid Pests and Biosecurity Measures (2017, methodology): “2014) but only about 2% of cargo arriving at maritime ports, airports, and border crossings is inspected (Work et al. 2005).”
Unwelcome exchange: International trade as a direct and indirect driver of biological invasions worldwide (2021, background): “Depending on the commodity concerned, slippage rates have been found to range from 22% to 52% for alien ant introductions to New Zealand,(116) and asmuch as 50% to 98% for alien insects in the United States.(37) Large international differences in inspection intensity and variation in the probability”
Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, background): “Many non-native forest insects initially become established in urban areas following importation of infested wood as packing material, nursery plants, produce or other commodities (Work et al. 2005; Poland and McCullough 2006; Westfall et al. 2008).”
Alien forest insects in a warmer world and a globalised economy: impacts of changes in trade, tourism and climate on forest biosecurity. (2010, background): “The collection of negative records of the absence of an alien species in a commodity should also be undertaken in addition to those of positive interceptions as was done by Work et al. (2005) and McCullough et al. (2006).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “Routine controls carried out in airports and harbours by quarantine services and monitoring by environmental or agricultural agencies are particularly informative in this respect (Work et al. 2005).”
Historical Accumulation of Nonindigenous Forest Pests in the Continental United States (2010, unknown): “Random samples of cargo arriving at US ports of entry and at the US–Mexico border suggest that despite quarantines and mitigation efforts, dozens of species of nonindigenous phytophagous insects continue to be introduced into the United States annually (Work et al. 2005).”
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “Many insect species have proven to have both a close association with human transport and a relatively low probability of detection with standard protocols used for border inspection (Kenis et al. 2007; Work et al. 2005).”
Connectivity of the American Agricultural Landscape: Assessing the National Risk of Crop Pest and Disease Spread (2009, background): “Meanwhile, an average of 10 new crop pests are estimated to enter the United States accidentally each year, usually through shipments of plant materials, produce, or packing materials from other continents through US ports (Work et al. 2005).”
A developmental database to support insect phenology models (2007, unknown): “A database of this type would help in assessing the potential risks associated with new exotic insect species that continue to enter the continental United States in ever increasing numbers (Sailer, 1978; Frank and McCoy, 1992; Britton, 2004; Work et al., 2005).”
Predicting the invasion risk by the alien bee-hawking Yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax across Europe and other continents with niche models (2011, background): “Moreover, when they happen to shelter in goods that get shipped, hibernating wasp funders have a relatively low probability of being detected with standard protocols used for custom inspection (Work et al., 2005; Kenis et al., 2007).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “Pathways of introduction have been unintentional such as infested wood packing or soil and plant material (Work et al. 2005; Haack 2006; McCullough et al. 2006), and intentional as biocontrol agents (Elkinton and Liebhold 1990).”
Applying a spread model to identify the entry points from which the pine wood nematode, the vector of pine wilt disease, would spread most rapidly across Europe (2011, background): “…the increasing number of alien species introduced to different parts of the world, and their environmental and economic impacts (Pimentel et al. 2005; Work et al. 2005; Hulme et al. 2009a, b; Roques et al. 2009), understanding the mechanisms of biological invasions has become an important issue.”
