Seed biology of a recently introduced species, Myoporum laetum in comparison to a successful invasive alien, Acacia cyclops, in the southwestern Cape, South Africa
The invasive potential of Myoporum laetum, a tree recently introduced into the southwestern Cape, South Africa, was evaluated, by comparing various aspects of its seed biology with those of another bird-dispersed alien, Acacia cyclops which is a successful invader in this region. M. laetum has highe...
