• Biological invasions and biocultural diversity: linking ecological and cultural systems (2008, background): “…Opuntia spp. Scientists fear its spread to Mexico, where it would threaten > 50 endangered native Opuntia spp., significant cultural resources for Mexicans used in food, fodder, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and the host plant for the cochineal dye industry (Zimmermann et al. 2000; Hoddle 2004).”
• Risks of biological control for conservation purposes (2012, background): “Zimmermann et al. (2000) believe that 79 species are at risk as suitable hosts for C. cactorum, so non-target impacts of this unintended spread could be substantial.”
