The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “For example, the filter-feeding C. curvispinum can swamp large areas of the stony substrata in the River Rhine with mud (van Riel et al. 2006).”
Assessment of biocontamination of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in European inland waterways (2008, background): “For example, a decline in the macroinvertebrate fauna following the arrival of D. villosus was reported from the waters of the Netherlands (Dick and Platvoet 2000; Van der Velde et al. 2000; Dick et al. 2002; Van Riel et al. 2006) and France (Devin et al. 2001).”
The river Rhine: a global highway for dispersal of aquatic invasive species (2009, background): “Improving water quality while these constraints remain in place has led to increased colonization of the river Rhine by non-indigenous species that spread their geographic distribution and caused significant changes in composition, structure and ecosystem processes (Den Hartog et al. 1992; Bij de Va”
The profile of a 'perfect' invader - the case of killer shrimp, Dikerogammarus villosus (2014, background): “After its arrival, the abundance of the resident Chelicorophium curvispinum (G.O. Sars, 1895) was greatly reduced (van Riel et al. 2006) and G. tigrinus was displaced from its preferred stony habitat to less favorable ones (van Riel et al. 2006).”
