• Including species interactions in risk assessments for global change (2007, background): “Similar results were obtained with fruit flies (Vera et al., 2002) and fire ants (Sutherst & Maywald, 2005).”
• The biogeography of prediction error: why does the introduced range of the fire ant over-predict its native range? (2006, result): “These findings are qualitatively similar to other attempts to predict fire ant distributions in North America, using both statistical (Sutherst & Maywald, 2005) and simulation (Killion & Grant, 1995; Korzukhin et al ., 2001) models.”
• Modelling local and long‐distance dispersal of invasive emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera) in North America (2006, methodology): “A CLIMEX model that incorporated both temperature and moisture was used to evaluate possible establishment and spread of the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta in New Zealand and Australia (Sutherst & Maywald, 2005).”
• The potential distribution of an invasive mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis and its threat to cotton in Asia (2010, methodology): “In practice, the boundaries of the distribution are used to confirm the threshold values for survival and the weekly stress accumulation rates, using an iterative fitting process (Sutherst & Maywald, 2005).”
• Modelling non-equilibrium distributions of invasive species: a tale of two modelling paradigms (2009, methodology): “We repeat the appeal (Sutherst and Maywald 2005) for less concern with precision of model fits to species geographical distributions (Cumming 2000a, b; Anderson and Lew 2003; Elith et al. 2006), which are usually of poor quality and more emphasis on avoiding the systemic errors that arise from…”
• Locusts and grasshoppers: behavior, ecology, and biogeography (2011, methodology): “In a more productive tallgrass prairie system, Evans [12] and Joern [4] also found grasshopper species richness was positively related with plant species richness.”
• Predicting the potential geographical distribution of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, using the CLIMEX model (2008, methodology): “2005), to assess the establishment potential in the area of release, modelling various stress parameters such as done by using the CLIMEX model may provide a reliable estimate of establishment potential for candidate non-native biological control agents outside its area of origin (Sutherst 2003; Sut”
• Modelling the potential geographic distribution of invasive ant species in New Zealand (2007, methodology): “Sutherst and Maywald (2005) have also modelled S. invicta at a global scale using colony growth and stress parameters in the programme CLIMEX.”
• Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Xyleborus glabratus (Coleoptera: Circulionidae: Scolytinae) Invasion in Eastern U.S. Forests (2008, methodology): “…been developed to generate niche models using continental- or global-scale climatic and environmental data (McKenney et al. 2003, Peterson 2003); the CLIMEX model, for instance, was designed for application to invasive pest species, including insects (Vera et al. 2002, Sutherst and Maywald 2005).”
