Invaders interfere with native parasite–host interactions (2009, background): “Much less recognized is that invaders may also interfere with native parasite–host interactions although they rarely become infected with native parasites as these are often host specific ( Torchin et al. 2003 ).”
Quo vadis Aethina tumida? Biology and control of small hive beetles (2016, background): “Alternatively, but not mutually exclusive, enemy release (Torchin et al. 2003) might enhance pupation success compared to the endemic range of SHBs in Africa.”
Understanding the establishment success of non-indigenous fishes: lessons from population genetics (2007, background): “Parasitological studies on invasive fish populations fall under the former category (Poulin & Mouillot, 2003; Torchin et al., 2003) and are therefore consistent with the ERH.”
Parasites, pathogens, and invasions by plants and animals (2004, background): “Data are from Mitchell and Power (2003) and Torchin et al. (2003).”
Including species interactions in risk assessments for global change (2007, background): “Pests, by their very nature, may have fewer interactions with other species than endemic species (Torchin et al., 2003).”
Invasive plants and their escape from root herbivory: a worldwide comparison of the root-feeding nematode communities of the dune grass Ammophila arenaria in natural and introduced ranges (2005, background): “Recent overviews on invasive plants (Mitchell and Power 2003) and animals (Torchin et al. 2003) have demonstrated that in their introduced ranges exotic species indeed have fewer pathogens, parasites, or viruses than in their natural range.”
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): “Releases from biotic and abiotic constraints such as the absence of competitors, predators or pathogens, may well lead to a shift in the realised niche (Mitchell and Power, 2003; Torchin et al., 2003; Callaway and Maron, 2006; Mitchell et al., 2006; Snyder and Evans, 2006; Medley, 2010).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “5) Enemy release hypothesis: the absence of enemies in the exotic range is a cause of invasion success (Maron and Vilà 2001; Keane and Crawley 2002; Mitchell and Power 2003; Torchin et al. 2003; Colautti et al. 2004; Liu and Stiling 2006; Blumenthal et al. 2009).”
Rating the rat: Global patterns and research priorities in impacts and management of rodent pests (2014, background): “…not may be its status, i.e. if it is native or alien to a given area: alien species are considered likely to become invasive out of their geographical range, since they may overcome potential competitors, and may not have natural predators or parasites (Mitchell & Power 2003, Torchin et al. 2003).”
The biology of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): Gaps in our knowledge of an invasive species (2004, neutral): “range (Torchin et al., 2003).”
Seeing red: alien species along the Mediterranean coast of Israel. (2007, background): “The parasitofauna of the alien species off the Mediterranean coast of Israel Absence of natural enemies, be it competitors, predators, pathogens, or parasites, is one of the explanations given for the success of alien biota (Wolfe 2002, Torchin et al. 2003).”
Herbivores and the success of exotic plants: a phylogenetically controlled experiment (2003, background): “This reduced parasite biota potentially gives exotic plants an advantage in comparison with native plants, as predicted by the classic “enemy release” hypothesis for the success of introduced organisms (Keane & Crawley 2002; Wolfe 2002; Mitchell & Power 2003; Torchin et al. 2003).”
