DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16053
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.

Role of priority effects in invasive plant species management: Early arrival of native seeds guarantees the containment of invasion by Giant ragweed
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9940
Abstract: Abstract Empirical evidence shows that early arrival of native species, which induces the priority effects, can contribute to invasive plant species containment. However, more systematic studies are required to test the applied relevance of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1800
Abstract: Measuring and predicting invasive plant abundance is critical for understanding impacts on ecosystems and economies. Although spatial abundance datasets remain rare, occurrence datasets are increasingly available across broad regional scales. We asked whether the frequency… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-4039-5
Abstract: Plant invasions and eutrophication are pervasive drivers of global change that cause biodiversity loss. Yet, how invasive plant impacts on native species, and the mechanisms underpinning these impacts, vary in relation to increasing nitrogen (N)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1525-y
Abstract: Invasive alien plants threaten biodiversity, ecosystems and service provision worldwide. They can have positive and negative direct and indirect effects on herbivorous insects, including those that provide pollination services. Here, we quantify how three highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.05.055
Abstract: Summary It is increasingly evident that plants interact with their outside world through the production of volatile organic compounds,1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but whether the volatiles have evolved to serve in plant defense is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2018.12.004
Abstract: Abstract Soil fungi play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning and there is increasing evidence that exotic plants invading forests can affect soil fungal communities. We examined potential effects of the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera… read more here.
