Pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) invasions facilitated by introductions and nature management strongly reduce macroinvertebrate abundance in isolated water bodies (2008, unknown): “Copp and Fox (2007) and demonstrated that pumpkinseed invasiveness at lower latitudes may be attributed to warmer climatic conditions resulting in a higher fecundity (i.e. rapid maturation and faster juvenile growth).”
Life-history traits and potential invasiveness of introduced pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus populations in northwestern Europe (2009, methodology): “Indeed, studies on life-history traits of non-native species usually consider only a limited latitudinal gradient, without the most northerly or southerly populations (e.g. Copp and Fox 2007; Fox et al. 2007; Ribeiro et al. 2008).”
The UK risk assessment scheme for all non-native species (2008, methodology): “The spreadsheet created by Pheloung et al. (1999) for the Australian weed risk assessment (WRA), which has also been successfully adopted in Hawaii (Daehler et al.”
Invasion rate and population characteristics of the round goby Neogobius melanostomus: effects of density and invasion history (2015, background): “Detailed reproductive parameters might also be important when studying condition and growth in relation to dispersal of invasive species (e.g. Copp & Fox 2007), but since our specimens were collected outside the spawning season, these parameters were not included here and will not be discussed any…”
