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.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology, the University of Pretoria, EU FP6 MACIS species targeted project (Minimisation of and Adaptation to Climate change: Impacts on biodiversity, contract No. 044399) and EU FP 6 ECOCHANGE integrated project (Challenges in assessing and forecasting biodiversity and ecosystem changes in Europe).
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduced and invasive cactus species: a global review
TL;DR: The invasive taxa represent an interesting subset of the total pool: they occur in two of the three major phylogenetic clades and in 13 of the 130 cactus genera, they possess five of the 12 cactus growth forms, and they tend to have larger native ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
A PCA-based modelling technique for predicting environmental suitability for organisms from presence records
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlative modelling technique that uses locality records (associated with species presence) and a set of predictor variables to produce a statistically justifiable probability response surface for a target species is presented.
