- A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and environment (2012, background): “…available from screening systems addressing invasiveness (e.g. Pheloung et al., 1999; Daehler & Carino, 2000; Daehler et al., 2004; Weber & Gut, 2004; Gordon et al., 2008) would be also applicable to impact which is, from themanagement point of view, amore importantmeasure (Hulme, 2006).”
- Incorporating uncertainty and social values in managing invasive alien species: a deliberative multi-criteria evaluation approach (2011, background): “To date, most risk assessment protocols, such as the widely adopted weed risk assessment in Australia (Pheloung et al. 1999; Gordon et al. 2008), are based on expert opinion and qualitative assessment, and not on rigorous quantitative statistics.2 There is no doubt that great progress has been made…”
- Risk analysis of potential invasive plants in Spain (2010, background): “…has been applied with success for Hawaii (Daehler & Carino 2000), the Pacific Islands (Daehler et al. 2004), the Czech Republic (Krivánek & Pyšek 2006), the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands of Japan (Kato et al. 2006), the state of Florida, USA (Gordon et al. 2008) and Spain (Gassó et al. 2009).”
- Predicting Invasive Plants in Florida Using the Australian Weed Risk Assessment (2008, background): “We examined if the outcome (accept or reject) of the WRA matched a priori non-, minor, and major invader categories with similar precision as found for previous tests of the WRA (Gordon et al. 2008).”
- Development of a generic decision-support tool for identifying potentially invasive aquatic taxa: AS-ISK (2016, methodology): “ASISK originates from internationally-accepted toolkits that have been developed over many years, e.g. Copp et al. (2005, 2009), Gordon et al. (2008, 2012), provides a quantitative output and is compliant with the “minimum requirements” (page 11 in Roy et al. 2014) for assessing species under the…”
- Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “Such models have been used to assess the impacts of banning apple imports into Australia (166), quarantines to prevent spread of disease (160), and calculating the optimal amount of plant inspections to prevent introduction of exotic pests and diseases (167).”
- Alien Non-Marine Snails and Slugs of Priority Quarantine Importance in the United States: A Preliminary Risk Assessment (2009, background): “Formal systems of weed risk assessment have been put into regulatory use widely for plants (Gordon et al. 2008), driven in part by the continuing demands of the global horticulture trade to move many species to new localities, with the horticultural industry playing probably by far the most…”
- Assessing the invasive potential of biofuel species proposed for Florida and the United States using the Australian Weed Risk Assessment. (2011, background): “Differences in total scores would be expected because of the different environmental conditions in the region of interest, because new data on species is available over time, and because of differences in application of the WRA [16].”
- Species‐based risk assessments for biological invasions: advances and challenges (2013, methodology): “The A-WRA (Pheloung et al., 1999), the RA tested most widely for plants around the world (Gordon et al., 2008; see also Appendix S1), uses a scoring system to assess the risk of a species of becoming weedy.”
- Predicting plant invaders in the Mediterranean through a weed risk assessment system (2010, methodology): “As some of the inconsistencies when comparing different studies are due to different ways of defining the alien status (Gordon et al. 2008), we opted for a clear and accepted definition of ‘‘casual species’’ as alien species that do not reproduce outside cultivation and rely on repeated…”
- Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “Using information about species biogeography and ecology, the Australian Weed Risk Assessment was shown to be effective in classifying plant invaders across several islands and continents (Gordon et al., 2008).”
- Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “Although some weed risk assessment procedures are now being widely adopted and perform well (Pheloung et al., 1999; Gordon et al., 2008), the criteria used to classify invasive and noninvasive species often vary among scientists, management organizations and jurisdictions, and identifying invasive s”
