Sheep can feed on noxious plants spurned by cows and horses.
In this country, the spiny shrubs, especially those of Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), are beloved of landscapers, despite the fact that Japanese barberry is one of the most invasive species in some regions and is found on New York State's list of noxious plants.

Few naturalists had been devoured by wild animals or stung to death by noxious plants or insects; few physicists had lost their eyesight looking at the heavens, or broken a leg on an inclined plane; but chemists had lost their eyes, their limbs, and sometimes their lives, usually by causing explosions or producing inadvertent toxins.
Medicinal, ornamental, noxious plants and weeds fit into this group giving it, in addition to the ecological value, an economical interest.
Zebra and quagga mussels, round gobies and noxious plants have colonized the Great Lakes before advancing to the Mississippi watershed through the CAWS where they continue a campaign of damage to water quality and infrastructure.
Interestingly, some Arctiid moth caterpillars are considered 'toxic plant generalists' that readily feed on chemically noxious plants to self-medicate against parasitism [23].
We conclude that the propensity for plants to achieve pest densities appears strongly related to seed mass and HCNSG such that identification of potential weeds and, especially, noxious plants based on these and additional biological traits is possible.
We conclude that, when focused on a single region, screening for potential weeds or noxious plants based on a small set of biological traits can be achieved with sufficient accuracy for policy and management purposes.
