Invasion Biologists and the Biofuels Boom: Cassandras or Colleagues (2008)

Daniel Simberloff

Modern invasion biology is a new science, with the holy grail of being able to predict the trajectory of particular invasions. Although this goal has yet to be achieved, there has been much progress...

© 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. How many, and which, plants will invade natural areas? (2007)

Julie L. Lockwood, Daniel Simberloff, Michael L. Mckinney, Betsy Von Holle

Of established nonindigenous plant species in California, Florida, and Tennessee, 5.8%, 9.7%, and 13.4%, respectively, invade natural areas according to designations tabulated by state Exotic Pest...

The importance of biological inertia in plant community resistance to invasion (2003)

Betsy Von Holle, Hazel R. Delcourt, Daniel Simberloff

Insights into the ecology of historic invasions by introduced species can be gained by studying long-term patterns of invasions by native species. In this paper, we review literature in...

Eradication—preventing invasions at the outset (2003)

Daniel Simberloff

A growing number of invasive animal populations—both vertebrate and invertebrate—have been completely eradicated. These projects usually have been on islands, but some have been on large...

Variation and covariation of skulls and teeth: modern carnivores and the interpretation of fossil mammals (2002)

Tamar Dayan, David Wool, Daniel Simberloff

Teeth are generally the best-preserved elements among mammal fossil remains and are highly diagnostic characters. Consequently, much mammalian paleontological, systematic, and evolutionary research...

Effects of Drift and Selection on Detecting Similarities Between Large Cladograms (1988)

Simberloff, Daniel

A computer simulation suggests that, for large cladograms, it is impossible to intuit by visual examination whether an observed degree of similarity is non-random. Drift may hinder our ability to see...

Calculating Probabilities that Cladograms Match: A Method of Biogeographical Inference (1987)

Simberloff, Daniel

The attempt to calculate a null probability for a given degree of matching among a set of phylogenetic area cladograms (or between a cladogram representing a geographic hypothesis and a set of...

What do genetics and ecology tell us about the design of nature reserves? (1986)

Soule, Michael E., Simberloff, Daniel

The SLOSS (single large or several small) debate is no longer an issue in the discussion about the optimal size of nature reserves. The best way to estimate the minimum sizes of reserves may be a...

Risk Assessments, Blacklists, and White Lists for Introduced Species: Are Predictions Good Enough to Be Useful?

Daniel Simberloff

The United States regulates deliberate species introduction by blacklists: any species not blacklisted may be imported. Half of invasive introduced species were deliberately introduced, yet most were...
