DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2727
Abstract: Abstract Given that many exotic plant species throughout the world are having large ecological and economic effects, it is vital to understand the forces that mediate their success in novel landscapes. Both native herbivores and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-021-01403-1
Abstract: Some plant protection organizations use biosurveillance to identify heightened risks from exotic plant pests or generally inform safeguarding. Biosurveillance programs typically focus on individual species but accumulate useful trend data over time. We extracted information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.12420
Abstract: We tested whether the recently proposed two-part measure of degree of invasion (DI) of a community relating exotic proportion of cover to exotic proportion of richness can characterize patterns of plant invasions at multiple savannah… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13132
Abstract: To explore how a highly invasive plant species (Buddleja davidii Franch.), managed honeybees and flower diversity affected plant–flower visitor interactions over the whole elevational range distribution of the exotic plant. read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12513
Abstract: Question Community invasion and dominance by exotic species can be abetted by disturbance and elevated nutrient levels. However, impacts of exotics on native species are often manifest through competition, suggesting disturbance or nutrient management could… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1047670
Abstract: Invasive exotic plant species (IEPs) are widely distributed across the globe, but whether IEPs are drivers or passengers of habitat change in the invaded spaces remains unclear. Here, we carried out a vegetation and soil… read more here.
