Abstract: PREMISE Invasive plant species often escape from specialist herbivore and are likely to experience herbivory mostly from generalist herbivores in the exotic range. Consequently, the Shifting Defence Hypothesis predicts that invasive plants will produce higher… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Exotic plant species can evolve adaptations to environmental conditions in the exotic range. Furthermore, soil biota can foster exotic spread in the absence of negative soil pathogen–plant interactions or because of increased positive soil… read more here.
