• The economic benefits of invasive species management (2019, background): “The impacts of invasive species are associated with a range of costs and benefits, with many species having both positive and negative values depending on context (Goodenough, 2010; Oreska & Aldridge, 2011; Shackleton, Shackleton, & Kull, 2018).”
• An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “Furthermore, it addresses both negative and positive effects of IAS, since positive effects are often neglected in purely ecological impact studies (Goodenough 2010, Davis et al. 2011, but see Pyšek et al. 2012 for a global review).”
• An updated review of alien species on the coasts of Turkey (2011, background): “Although a wide range of scientific literature has tended towards the negative impacts of alien species-giving rise to the axiomatic ‘native good, aliens bad’ philosophy, facilitative alien-native interactions also occur frequently as an indication of the positive alien impact (GOODENOUGH, 2010).”
• The importance of assessing positive and beneficial impacts of alien species (2020, methodology): “As most research assessing the impacts of alien species has been directed toward negative impacts, the magnitude of positive impacts has been rarely systematically assessed and quantified by using statistical or semi-quantitative tools (Goodenough 2010).”
• Mapping the impact of alien species on marine ecosystems: the Mediterranean Sea case study (2016, background): “…a community and the dominance of aliens may be a consequence of, rather than the driving force behind, ecosystem disturbance (Chabrerie et al., 2008), as some alien species can better tolerate disturbance due to their generalist ecology and phenotypic plasticity (Smith, 2009; Goodenough, 2010).”
