• The impact of invasive alien Prosopis species (mesquite) on native plants in different environments in South Africa. (2015, background): “Implications of findings Our study has added to the growing body of evidence (Steenkamp and Chown, 1996; Dean et al, 2002; Ndhlovu et al., 2011; Dzikiti et al., 2013; Schachtschneider and February, 2013) that invasion by Prosopis has negative impacts on South Africa's natural ecosystems and the…”
• The impact of shrub encroachment on savanna bird diversity from local to regional scale (2009, unknown): “For example, the invasion of Prosopis glandulosa is likely to have a rather different impact on bird communities, as stands dominated by this species have a completely different vertical structure (Dean et al. , 2002).”
• Invasive alien plants in South Africa: how well do we understand the ecological impacts? (2004, background): “62 In mesic savannas, Chromolaena odorata invasions in riparian areas increase shading on riverbanks, leading to altered sex ratios of native Nile crocodiles due to reduced soil temperatures in nests.”
• Rethinking Avian Response to Tamarix on the Lower Colorado River: A Threshold Hypothesis (2008, background): “…and South Africa) have similar tree species but are individually dynamic systems that vary in species composition, environmental conditions, climate patterns, and elevation all of which ultimately affect avian community structure (Hunter et al. 1988; Dean et al. 2002; van Andel & Aronson 2006).”
• Biological Control of Mesquite (Prosopis Species) (Fabaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “Both botanical and avian diversity were lower in dense mesquite stands compared to native Acacia woodland along drainage lines in the Kalahari region of South Africa (Dean et al. 2002).”
• Invasive alien plants infiltrate bird‐mediated shrub nucleation processes in arid savanna (2007, background): “Lower species richness below Prosopis might be because Acacia species offer better perches for frugivorous birds (Dean et al. 2002), or because Acacia species provide subcanopy environments more suitable for seedling germination and survival.”
