• Introduction and use of non‐native species for aquaculture in China: status, risks and management solutions (2015, background): “In addition, research progress on management of harmful species has accumulated in the past two decades (e.g. Lodge et al. 2006; Messing & Wright 2006).”
• Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “Messing and Wright (2006) report that a single recent invader (a leafhopper from China) attacks some 70 endemic plants in Hawaii, including 14 rare and endangered species.”
• Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “Biocontrol has often been a preferred means for controlling IASs, historically for vertebrates and still today for plants and invertebrates (Messing & Wright 2006).”
• Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “Many entomologists debated the beneficial versus detrimental aspects of classical biological control in the late 1990s and early 2000s (see Follett and Duan 2000; Samways 1997; Lockwood et al. 2001; Wajnberg et al. 2001; Louda et al. 2003; Pearson and Callaway 2003; Messing and Wright 2006).”
• BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2007, background): “Although the use of biological control measures (using other species, usually diseases or predators, to limit the presence of a target species) has been discussed for some time (see Lafferty & Kuris 1996; Messing & Wright 2006), to our knowledge, few attempts of this have been tried.”
• Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “Unintended effects of biological control releases done before the 1950s in Hawaii caused concern (Howarth 1991; Hennemann and Memmott 2001; Messing and Wright 2006) as did effects of the released weevil Rhinocyllus conicus (Frölich) on native thistles in North America (Louda et al.”
• Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Scale infestations on four rare plant species, monitored for 2 years in Florida, remained high and caused progressive branch die back on Eugenia confusa and Pavonia paludicola, but declined on Amorpha herbaceae var. crenulata and Dalea carthagenensis (Liu and Pemberton, unpublished data).”
• Frequency, efficiency, and physical characteristics of predation by generalist predators of brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs (2016, unknown): “Control of H. halys offers the promise of long-term regulation of the populations of this invasive species, while minimizing insecticide input into agroecosystems (Messing and Wright, 2006).”
