Global distribution patterns and niche modelling of the invasive Kalanchoe × houghtonii (Crassulaceae)
Invasive alien species are currently considered one of the main threats to global biodiversity. One of the most rapidly expanding invasive plants in recent times is Kalanchoe × houghtonii (Crassulaceae), an artificial hybrid created in the 1930s in the United States by experimental crossings between...

Invasive alien species are currently considered one of the main threats to global biodiversity.
