Marine range shifts and species introductions: comparative spread rates and community impacts (2010, background): “As for introductions (Ruiz et al., 1999; Williams, 2007; Williams & Smith, 2007), we found examples of shifters spreading into areas with higher levels of disturbance, predatory release, competitive release and prey density (Lodge, 1993; Vermeij, 1996; Colautti et al., 2004).”
Escape from natural enemies during climate‐driven range expansion: a case study (2008, background): “Invading species may be attacked by fewer enemies, and suffer reduced levels of mortality in newly colonised areas, increasing the rate of expansion (see Colautti et al. , 2004; Liu & Stiling, 2006 for a review).”
Sharing a predator: can an invasive alien pest affect the predation on a local pest? (2013, background): “Among other factors (for review see Liebhold and Tobin 2008), an alien pest has potential for being invasive because it may be released from predation pressure in the invaded area (Shea and Chesson 2002), i.e., enemy release hypothesis (Colautti et al. 2004).”
Reducing redundancy in invasion ecology by integrating hypotheses into a single theoretical framework (2009, background): “Enemy release hypothesis (ER) (Keane & Crawley, 2002); Resource-ER (Blumenthal, 2006); Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability/ERc (Blossey & Notzgold, 1995; Callaway & Ridenour, 2004; Joshi & Vrieling, 2005); Enemy reduction (Colautti et al., 2004); Enemy inversion (Colautti et al., 2004).”
Predator-prey naïveté, antipredator behavior, and the ecology of predator invasions (2010, background): “Th e ‘enemy release’ hypothesis (link B) posits that the invasion of a non-native predator might be aided by a lack of top–down control of the invader’s population growth (Torchin et al. 2003, Colautti et al. 2004, Torchin and Mitchell 2004).”
Rethinking the common garden in invasion research. (2009, background): “(2005); Joshi and Vrieling (2005); Zou et al. (2008a, b). Leger and Rice (2003); Leger and Rice (2007). Williams et al. (2008). Poulin et al. (2007) – 2 experiments Kollmann and Banuelos (2004); Weber and Schmid (1998;) Weber and D’Antonio (1999); Ebeling et al.”
A meta‐analysis of biotic resistance to exotic plant invasions (2004, result): “Our results are thus consistent with the equivocal evidence for this hypothesis in recent research (Maron & Vilà 2001; Agrawal & Kotanen 2003; Beckstead & Parker 2003; Colautti et al. 2004), and call into question the use of this hypothesis to infer resident species controls over invasion success.”
The role of behavior in the success of invasive crustaceans (2010, background): “This hypothesis may or may not hold true for particular species in particular habitats (Colautti et al. 2004).”
Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “Indeed, the enemy release hypothesis (ERH) predicts that reduced pressure from specialist enemies in newly invaded habitats can provide a competitive advantage for the invader (reviewed in Colautti et al. 2004; Roy et al. 2011).”
A compendium of essential concepts and terminology in invasion ecology (2010, background): “Colautti et al. (2004) argue that the ERH is often accepted without recognizing that all alien species will lose at least some natural enemies owing to bottlenecks during transport.”
Lag times and exotic species: The ecology and management of biological invasions in slow-motion (2005, background): “Having left behind its natural enemies, genotypes that improve competitive success will be selected for, and this will come at the expense of herbivore defence (Blossey & Notzöld, 1995; Siemann & Rogers, 2003; Rogers & Siemann, 2004, but see Coluatti et al., 2004).”
