Pam Fuller
Pam Fuller a Scientist Emeritus and the former program leader for the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Program which maintains a nationwide database and a web site of aquatic invaders.
She is author of the summary book 'Nonindigenous Fishes Introduced into Inland Waters of the United States' which reviews the introductions of more than 500 species and looks at spatial and temporal patterns of these introductions. She has been involved in numerous national and international invasive species research activities and work groups, particularly in the field of invasive species information management. She has collaborated with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center to develop NISbase - a distributed query system for aquatic invasive species databases and was involved in the development of a global equivalent - the Global Invasive Species Information Network.

Salinity tolerance of goldfish, Carassius auratus, a non-native fish in the United States
No abstract available.AuthorsPamela J. Schofield, Mary E. Brown, Pamela L. FullerSpecies richness and patterns of invasion in plants, birds, and fishes in the United States
We quantified broad-scale patterns of species richness and species density (mean # species/km2) for native and non-indigenous plants, birds, and fishes in the continental USA and Hawaii. We hypothesized that the species density of native and non-indigenous taxa would generally decrease in northern latitudes and higher elevations following declines in potential evapotranspiration, mean temperature,AuthorsThomas J.

Introduced for sport fishing, as biological controls or other purposes, and as a result of illegal activity, nonnative fishes occupy national park waters where approximately 118 species now compete with native aquatic organisms.AuthorsW.R. Courtenay, P.L. FullerUSGS develops a drainage-based system to track ANS introductions
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) Program has tracked the distribution of introduced species for more than 20 years. This effort began with foreign fishes in Florida and later expanded to include aquatic nuisance species nationwide. The tracking database contains locational and temporal data for introductions and spread. This data is generally derived from literAuthorsPamela L. FullerSpatial and temporal patterns of nonindigenous fish introductions in the United States
In 1978 biologists in Gainesville, Florida, began compiling records on the distribution and status of nonindigenous fishes known in U.S. inland waters. The database, now in electronic format, currently contains approximately 17,000 records representing more than 500 nonindigenous fish taxa (i.e., species, hybrids, and unidentified forms). Of these taxa, 317 (61%) are native to the United States buAuthorsL.G. Nico, P.L. FullerNonindigenous species: methods of introduction and impacts
