Dear all. I'm trying to come across some references on examples
in Australia
of environmental weeds affecting native animal health. Not
interested so
much in indirect effects through competition with native food
plants or
restriction of access to such, but rather examples of direct
effects such as
physical injury, poisoning and allergic reactions. Know of one
reference so
far:
Brown PR, Wallis RL, Simmons D and Adams R (1991) Weeds and
Wildlife. Plant
Protection Quarterly 6(3) 150-153
Thanks in advance,
John
