By combining the largest currently available databases on economic uses and naturalization success, we show how the varied uses of plants by humans contribute to their ability to establish outside of their native ranges. The percentage of naturalized taxa among economic plants is almost 18 times higher than among the global seed plant flora without […] More

We conducted this study from December 4, 2012 through March 12, 2013 with the cooperation of 35 feedlots. Feedlots were located within 4 regions; Eastern Colorado (n = 8), Kansas (n = 8), Texas panhandle (n = 8), Southern Iowa/Northern Missouri (n = 11). Feedlots experiencing bird damage (large foraging flocks of birds) were identified with the help of local cattlemen’s associations. Bird […] More
