Researchers at the Centre for Invasion Biology (C·I·B) at Stellenbosch University, found that the introduction histories of the globally important invasive tree Silver wattle (Acacia dealbata) are complex and cannot be generalized.
In a paper recently published in the American Journal of Botany, C·I·B postdoctoral fellow Heidi Hirsch and co-workers highlighted the very complex introduction history of the invasive tree Silver wattle (Acacia dealbata) in South Africa.
In a recent paper published in the journal Tree Genetics & Genomes, C·I·B post-doctoral associate, Heidi Hirsch, and co-authors investigated the genetic structure among the native populations of the Australian tree Acacia dealbata, commonly known as silver wattle.
A recent paper led by C·I·B post-doctoral fellow Heidi Hirsch highlights how uncertainty about the taxonomy can impact inferences in invasion ecology, using the Australian silver wattle (Acacia dealbata) as a case study.
A recent study by C·I·B Associate, Sjirk Geerts (based at Cape Peninsula University of Technology), together with researchers from the C·I·B, SANBI’s Invasive Species Programme and the University of Cape Town, stressed the importance of human activities in the spread of some of the most notorious plant invaders.
