Some invaders, such as the shrub lantana (
Lantana camara
), have been introduced repeat-
edly in new ranges as a result of global human colonization and commerce. As the array of estimated
years indicates, lantana was introduced throughout the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth
centuries in many subtropical and tropical areas. In each new range it has become highly destructive,
both in agricultural and natural communities (Cronk and Fuller 1995 from Mack et al. 2000)
