The role of intraspecific hybridization in the evolution of invasiveness: a case study of the ornamental pear tree Pyrus calleryana (2009, background): “Given the high economic and ecological costs associated with only a few invasive species (Pimentel et al. 2000, 2005), it is crucial that we identify evolutionary processes that facilitate invasiveness so as to prevent and control future problem species.”
Invasive species: a costly catastrophe for native biodiversity (2001, background): “More recent studies claim far higher rates, up to 50 000 introduced species in total, including 5000 non-native plant species now established in the wild, amounting to 23% of the total flora (Pimentel et al., 2000).”
The Economics of Biological Invasions (2002, background): “On the one hand, we are told that nonindigenous weeds cost US agriculture alone $26 billion annually (Pimentel et al. 2000).”
The Biology of Invasions: The Genetic Adaptation Paradox (2006, background): “Invasive species continue to increase in frequency worldwide and have exacted severe environmental and economic impacts (Pimentel et al. 2000; Ricciardi and Atkinson 2004).”
Links between estuarine condition and spatial distributions of marine invaders (2009, background): “DOI: 10.1111/j.1472-4642.2009.00587.x ª 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd www.blackwellpublishing.com/ddi 807 damages and losses from NIS amount to $138 billion per year (see reviews by Pimentel et al., 2000; Colautti et al., 2006).”
Managing a Migratory Pest Species: A Selective Trap for Common Carp (2006, background): “Consequently, invasive species remain a serious environmental threat to ecosystems with considerable associated economic and social cost ( Pimental et al. 2000 ).”
Seasonal Distribution, Aggregation, and Habitat Selection of Common Carp in Clear Lake, Iowa (2008, background): “On these two continents, overabundant common carp populations have prompted millions of dollars in research and control efforts (Roberts and Tilzey 1997; Pimentel et al. 2000).”
Population ecology of insect invasions and their management. (2008, background): “However, a highly conspicuous minority of nonindigenous species sometimes become particularly abundant and cause considerable ecological, economic, and evolutionary impacts (85, 100, 129).”
Global strategy on invasive alien species (2001, background): “…cost to human, plant, animal health in USA $41 billion per year Daszak et al., 2000 Economic costs of damage in USA $137 billion per year Pimentel et al., 2000 $267-602 million Wittenberg et al,, 2001 A sample of alien species of plants and animals Salt Cedar Value of ecosystem services…”
Australian research on bird pests: impact, management and future directions (2002, background): “According to Pimentel et al. (2000), the Common Mynah is a major disperser of seeds of the introduced invasive weed Lantana camara in Hawaii.”
Biological invasion risks and the public good: an economic perspective (2002, background): “Seven years later, Pimentel et al. (2000) estimated the annual damage costs from a much wider set of invasive species to be $137 billion.”
