Densities of a perennial invasive tree, Acacia cyclops, decline in the 20 years since inception of biological control with two seed-reducing agents, a flower-galling midge and a seed-feeding weevil

Two biological control agents, a flower-galling midge (Dasineura rubiformis, Cecidomyiidae), and a seed-feeding weevil (Melanterius maculatus, Curculionidae), are consistently and substantially reducing the seeding capacity of Acacia cyclops in South Africa.
