Limited phylogeographic and genetic connectivity in Acacia species of low stature in an arid landscape
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9052
Abstract: Abstract Widespread plant species are expected to maintain genetic diversity and gene flow via pollen and seed dispersal. Stature is a key life history trait that affects seed and potentially pollen dispersal, with limited stature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-018-09919-9
Abstract: Prickly acacia (Vachellia nilotica subsp. indica, Family: Fabaceae) is an invasive woody weed in coastal and semi-arid rangelands of Australia. A prominent dieback event was observed on this species in 2010 in north-western Queensland. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2019.01.007
Abstract: Abstract Since the mid-1980s, five species of seed-destroying Melanterius weevils have been used in South Africa as biological control agents against invasive Australian Acacia trees. Recorded levels of seed-destruction by the weevils are highly variable.… read more here.

Establishment and heteroblasty of Acacia koa in canopy gaps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117592
Abstract: Abstract Acacia spp. are important tropical forest trees but their commercial value may be limited by expression of poor apical dominance and extensive lateral branching. Multiple-aged and gap silviculture may harness the developmental plasticity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10549811.2018.1530602
Abstract: ABSTRACT Seedlings of invasive species often exhibit superior physiological traits that facilitate their spread at early stages of invasion, although it is unclear whether these traits persist at the post-establishment stage. To determine whether mature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac138
Abstract: Plant-soil interactions can be important drivers of biological invasions. In particular, the symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria (i.e. rhizobia) may be influential in invasion success. Legumes, including Australian acacias, have been introduced… read more here.
