- Fungal invasions in ecology have gained attention recently due to a lack of information about these organisms and most studies focusing on why invasions succeed rather than fail.
- This study examines how host-pathogen relationships can affect the invasiveness of Australian Proteaceae species in South Africa, particularly looking at a major invasive phytopathogen.
- The research found that specific introduced plant species had high antimicrobial activity against the phytopathogen, suggesting that the pathogen may limit the success of less resistant alien plant species in new environments.
