| combining a climatic niche model of an invasive fungus with its host species distributions to identify risks to natural assets: puccinia psidii sensu lato in australia. | puccinia psidii sensu lato (s.l.) is an invasive rust fungus threatening a wide range of plant species in the family myrtaceae. originating from central and south america, it has invaded mainland usa and hawai'i, parts of asia and australia. we used climex to develop a semi-mechanistic global climatic niche model based on new data on the distribution and biology of p. psidii s.l. the model was validated using independent distribution data from recently invaded areas in australia, china and japan ... | 2013 | 23704988 |
