Macroecology meets invasion ecology: performance of Australian acacias and eucalypts around the world revealed by features of their native ranges

2014-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Native geographical range extent has frequently emerged as a correlate of invasiveness, especially for plant species. We tested whether dimensions of the native range (measured by the area-of-occupancy and its scaling patterns) of 720 Australian eucalypts (genera Angophora, Eucalyptus and Corymbia) could explain introduction and invasion success. We also compared our results with a previous study on 979 Australian...
