Biological Control of Cactaceae in South Africa (2011, background): “(Cactaceae), which is naturalized in South Africa, and has the tendency to be invasive, is recorded as one of six species in the genus by Anderson (2001), while Hunt (2006) lists only one species in the genus Acanthocereus.”
Genetic relationships in Opuntia Mill. genus (Cactaceae) detected by molecular marker (2003, background): “They are also present in the Mediterranean basin, Middle-East, South Africa, India, Thailand and Australia [1,3].”
Opuntia and Other Cacti: Applications and Biotechnological Insights (2010, background): “Functions of the spines include mechanical protection from herbivores, reflection of light, and shading of the cladode to reduce water loss and for condensing fog (Anderson 2001).”
Disintegrating Portulacaceae: a new familial classification of the suborder Portulacineae (Caryophyllales) based on molecular and morphological data (2010, methodology): “– 126 genera and ca. 1900 species (Anderson, 2001, 2005); 124 genera and 1438 species (Hunt, 2006).”
Does public awareness increase support for invasive species management? Promising evidence across taxa and landscape types (2017, background): “Opuntia stricta is native to Cuba, Mexico and the USA (Anderson 2001).”
