I'd like any references that are available on plant species that have 
destructively invaded PRIMARY forests anywhere in the world.    I'm 
not interested in weeds of secondary forests, but rather shade-tolerant 
climbers or other invaders that suppress natural regeneration.  I believe 
that Lonicera japonica fits the category in the Southeast US.    I don't 
believe that we have anything of this sort yet in the Malayan-Bornean 
forests, but I  would like to  develop a 'profile' of the kind of pest that is 
likely to eventually show up.  

A good reference to Lonicera japonica, its biology and control, would also 
be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.
