• Alien species in British brackish and marine waters (2013, background): “The alien tunicates Styela clava and Didemnum vexillum have had a considerable impact on aquaculture activities elsewhere (Bourque et al. 2007; Coutts and Forrest 2007).”
• Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “…was reported previously from natural habitats in B.C. (Bullard et al. 2007) and is widely reported from subtidal gravel and rock on the eastern coast of North America, including a 230-km2 area of Georges Bank (Bullard et al. 2007; Valentine et al. 2007) and in New Zealand (Coutts & Forrest 2007).”
• Genetic conspecificity of the worldwide populations of Didemnum vexillum Kott, 2002. (2009, background): “…three decades, previously unrecorded populations of superficially similar colonial tunicates of the genus Didemnum have been discovered in many temperate coastal regions throughout the world (Minchin and Sides 2006; Bullard et al. 2007; Coutts and Forrest 2007; Gittenberger 2007; Lambert 2009).”
• Links between estuarine condition and spatial distributions of marine invaders (2009, background): “Past eradication attempts have proven costly and difficult (Willan, 2000; Anderson, 2005; Coutts & Forrest, 2007) and many current management programmes aim to prevent the arrival of new pests.”
• New Zealand pest management: current and future challenges (2015, background): “Physical treatment tools have also been successfully trialled in the marine environment (e.g. smothering pests with geotextile fabric, polyethylene or dredge spoil; Coutts & Forrest 2007), as well as heat treatment (e.g. Wooton et al. 2004).”
• Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “For example, the cost associated with eradication of D. vexillum in Shakespeare Bay, New Zealand, was as high as $650,000 ($NZD), though the effort failed to eliminate the species (Coutts and Forrest 2007).”
• The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “…nodosum California, USA 2002 Successful Miller et al. 2004 Atlantic rockweed Didemnum vexillum New Zealand 2003 Unsuccessful in some areas; ongoing Coutts and Forrest 2007 colonial sea squirt Zostera japonica California, USA 2003 Ongoing Eicher 2006 Japanese eelgrass Littorina littorea…”
• Adventures of a sea squirt sleuth: unraveling the identity of Didemnum vexillum, a global ascidian invader (2009, background): “Most of the new records have appeared in the past 10-15 years (Breton 2005; Bullard et al. 2007a; Coutts and Forrest 2007; Gittenberger 2007; Minchin and Sides 2006; Minchin 2007).”
