Reproductive biology of Australian acacias: important mediator of invasiveness? (2011, background): “, 2011), of which at least a third have been introduced and 23 are invasive in different parts of the world (Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011; Richardson et al., 2011).”
Phylogeographic consequences of different introduction histories of invasive Australian Acacia species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Fabaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “), making multiplespecies comparisons within this framework possible (Richardson et al., 2011).”
Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “, 2011 for taxonomic details) are major or emerging invaders in many parts of the world (Castro-Dı́ez et al., 2011; Richardson & Rejmánek, 2011; Richardson et al., 2011).”
Modelling horses for novel climate courses: insights from projecting potential distributions of native and alien Australian acacias with correlative and mechanistic models (2011, background): “This long invasion history, widespread colonization and well-documented distributions may be viewed as a ‘natural experiment in biogeography’ from which much can be learnt about species range dynamics (Richardson et al., 2011).”
The introduced flora of Madagascar (2012, background): “Most remain quite limited in extent, though several genera of Fabaceae are known for their naturalization and invasion potential (Richardson et al. 2011).”
Here be dragons: a tool for quantifying novelty due to covariate range and correlation change when projecting species distribution models (2014, background): “…invasion has been characterized by high propagule pressure during introductions, has had considerable time to spread and is extremely well characterized (i.e. extensive collection of records with minimal sampling bias) across the entire known range (Richardson et al., 2011; Webber et al., 2011).”
Predicting invasiveness of Australian acacias on the basis of their native climatic affinities, life history traits and human use (2011, background): “This genus (sensu lato) encompasses over 1350 species, and most of them are native to Australia (Breton et al., 2008; Miller et al., 2011; Richardson et al., 2011).”
Global uses of Australian acacias – recent trends and future prospects (2011, background): “However, systematic collection and evaluation of Australian acacias (see Miller et al., 2011; and Richardson et al., 2011 for taxonomic details) only began in the 1970s.”
Ecophysiological traits associated with the competitive ability of invasive Australian acacias (2011, unknown): “Australian acacias (1012 species in the subgenus Phyllodineae DC native to Australia; Miller et al., 2011; Richardson et al., 2011) are some of the most successful”
Co‐invasion of South African ecosystems by an Australian legume and its rhizobial symbionts (2013, background): “Not surprisingly, legumes are often over-represented among invasive plant taxa (Daehler, 1998) with some taxa emerging as model systems within invasion biology, e.g. Australian acacias (Richardson et al., 2011).”
Jack‐of‐all‐trades and master of many? How does associated rhizobial diversity influence the colonization success of Australian Acacia species? (2011, background): “Joubert (2003) characterized the root-nodulating bacteria associated with invasive bipinnate acacias (A. dealbata, A. decurrens and A. mearnsii) in South Africa and found these to be mainly strains of the slowgrowing genus Bradyrhizobium.”
Risk assessment, eradication, and biological control: global efforts to limit Australian acacia invasions (2011, background): “There are many climatically suitable regions around the world where Australian acacias have not yet been introduced (Richardson et al., 2011), but as countries and individuals seek to replicate the diverse beneficial uses of species demonstrated in other parts of the world (Kull et al., 2011; van…”
The evolution and phylogenetic placement of invasive Australian Acacia species (2011, background): “Owing to the consequences of human intervention (Griffin et al., 2011; Le Roux et al., 2011; Richardson et al., 2011), the ranges of some Australian acacias have changed dramatically.”
Hitting the right target: taxonomic challenges for, and of, plant invasions (2013, background): “This can be complicated by species being native and alien in different parts of the same country (e.g. many species of Acacia in Australia: Bean 2007; Richardson et al. 2011; or Spartina in North America: Daehler and Strong 1994; Anttila et al. 1998) or continents (Lambdon et al.”
A native at home and abroad: the history, politics, ethics and aesthetics of acacias (2011, background): “Despite the widespread natural distribution of genus Acacia (sensu lato) around the world, hundreds of individual species have been transported to new locations (Richardson et al., 2011a,b).”
