TL;DR: In a recent special issue of Diversity and Distributions as mentioned in this paper, 20 papers focused on the global cross-disciplinary experiment of introduced Australian acacias (1012 recognized species native to Australia) have been moved extensively around the world by humans over the past 250 years.

TL;DR: Global efforts to minimize the risk and limit the impact of invasions in this widely used plant group are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological control of Australian Acacia species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Willd.) Nielsen (Mimosaceae) in South Africa
TL;DR: In total, ten agent species have been released in South Africa for the biological control of ten invasive Australian Acacia species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Willd.) Nielsen (Mimosaceae).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological control of invasive golden wattle trees (Acacia pycnantha) by a gall wasp, Trichilogaster sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), in South Africa
TL;DR: All indications are that A. pycnantha is being brought under biological control as successfully as Acacia longifolia was by a congeneric gall wasp, Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae .
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological control of cactus weeds: implications of hybridization between control agent biotypes
TL;DR: These findings show that only pure strains of D. opuntiae should be released in monocultures of the target weeds, and caution that the possible consequences of mixing genotypes of a biological control agent species should be investigated before different provenances are amalgamated to enhance genetic diversity.
