The role of Allee effects in gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), invasions (2009, background): “As a consequence of our increasingly global community, species are being relocated and many of these introductions result in the successful establishment of a species in its nonnative range (Liebhold et al. 1995b; Niemelä and Mattson 1996; Mattson et al. 2007).”
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “The New World is generally more prone to the establishment of alien species than the Old World (Lonsdale 1999; Mattson et al. 2007), and that is the case for Vespidae, with only one introduced species (Vespa velutina) established in Europe compared to 12 introduced species established in the…”
Ecology of forest insect invasions (2017, background): “America than in the opposite direction (Mattson et al. 2007); this pattern is hypothesized to be due to Pleistocene/Holocene glaciations that reduced European host tree diversity, creating fewer niches for invading species.”
A highly aggregated geographical distribution of forest pest invasions in the USA (2013, background): “Establishment of both European and Asian forest insects and pathogens in North America has likely been facilitated by the similarity of the flora among these three continents (Mattson et al., 2007).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “About 75% of the alien herbivorous insect fauna currently established in North American forests is endemic to Europe (Niemelä and Mattson 1996; Mattson et al. 2007).”
Alien forest insects in a warmer world and a globalised economy: impacts of changes in trade, tourism and climate on forest biosecurity. (2010, background): “Mattson et al. (2007) reported that North America was a bigger source of alien insect species than Asia but © 2010 New Zealand Forest Research Institute Limited, trading as Scion ISSN 0048 - 0134 (print) ISSN 1179-5395 (on-line) Roques: New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science 40 suppl.”
