To South Africa and beyond: Local distribution and global invasion potential of the alien anemone Cereus pedunculatus

Figure 1.

Map of Langebaan Lagoon marine protected area and Saldanha Bay in South Africa. Fifteen, 3 km long sampling areas are illustrated, as outlined by Robinson and Swart (2015). These areas and Centre Banks (Area 16), a sandflat exposed at low tide, were surveyed for Cereus pedunculatus. The locations of Langebaan (first reported occurrence) and Knysna (new introduction or secondary introduction) are indicated on the overview map.
