Research stories: Maps and models to curb the spread of the abominable puncturevine
Trevor Caughlin and co-authors describe how the local impacts of an invasive plant motivated research to understand where it spreads. Biological invasions threaten global biodiversity, motivating studies to control invasive species’ spread. We studied outbreaks of puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), an invasive species in Western North America. While our team appreciates the global threats posed by invasive species, the motivation for our newly published study was … Continue reading Research stories: Maps and models to curb the spread of the abominable puncturevine
