DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1770-8
Abstract: Successful long-term invasive alien plant control programmes rely on alien plant distribution and abundance data to assess, prioritise, implement and monitor the efficacy of the programme. Here we assess the impact of data accuracy using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02469-9
Abstract: When colonizing new areas, alien plant species success can depend strongly on local environmental conditions. Microclimatic barriers might be the reason why some alien plant species thrive in urban areas, while others prefer rural environments.… read more here.

The effects of introduced ungulates on native and alien plant species in an island ecosystem: Implications for change in a diverse mesic forest in the Hawaiian Islands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.11.023
Abstract: Abstract In island ecosystems, where endemic species have long been viewed as competitively inferior and more susceptible to herbivory relative to continental species, the impacts of invasive species may be especially pronounced. The sensitivity of… read more here.

Contrasting responses of native and alien plant species to soil properties shed new light on the invasion of dune systems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Plant Ecology"
DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtaa052
Abstract: Among terrestrial ecosystems, coastal sandy dunes are particularly prone to alien plant invasion. Many studies related the invasion of dune habitats to anthropic causes, but less is known about the role of soil properties and… read more here.

Phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness explain alien plant population responses to competition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.1070
Abstract: Several invasion hypotheses predict a positive association between phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness of aliens and their performance, leading to the idea that distinct aliens compete less with their resident communities. However, synthetic pattern relationships between… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants10040805
Abstract: Invasive alien plant species have impacts on nature conservation, ecosystem services and agricultural production. To identify environmental and human-related drivers of the invasion of Solanum elaeagnifolium (Solanaceae)—one of the worst alien invasive plants worldwide—we conducted… read more here.
