 Ecological Consequences of Invasion by Melaleuca Quinquenervia in South Florida Wetlands: Paradise Damaged, not Lost
Sowder and Woodall (1985) concluded that utilization of a particular melaleuca habitat by small mammals may depend on the area in which it is located than on characteristics of the melaleuca habitat itself.

Managing melaleuca will be expensive, time- consuming, and risky; but it is no exaggeration to say that the restoration of this unique, internationally significant wetland system depends on it.
