Quantifying differences between native and introduced species
Introduced species have historically been presumed to be evolutionarily novel and
'different'from native species. Recent studies question these assumptions, however, as the …

Introduction bias: imbalance in species introductions may obscure the identification of traits associated with invasiveness
The introduction stage is usually overlooked in trait-based studies of invasiveness, implicitly
assuming that species introductions are random. However, human activities promote the …

Intraspecific trait variation is correlated with establishment success of alien mammals
M González-Suárez, S Bacher… - The American …, 2015 - journals.uchicago.edu
Many studies have aimed to identify common predictors of successful introductions of alien
species, but the search has had limited success, particularly for animals. Past research …

Biotic interactions, rapid evolution, and the establishment of introduced species
EI Jones, R Gomulkiewicz - The American Naturalist, 2012 - journals.uchicago.edu
The biotic environment can pose a challenge to introduced species; however, it is not known
how rapid evolution in introduced and resident species influences the probability that the …

Evolutionary responses of natives to introduced species: what do introductions tell us about natural communities?
Biological invasions dramatically affect the distribution, abundance and reproduction of
many native species. Because of these ecological effects, exotic species can also influence …

A comparison of the recruitment success of introduced and native species under natural conditions
H Flores-Moreno, AT Moles - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
It is commonly accepted that introduced species have recruitment advantages over native
species. However, this idea has not been widely tested, and those studies that have …

Do invasive species show higher phenotypic plasticity than native species and, if so, is it adaptive? A meta‐analysis
AM Davidson, M Jennions, AB Nicotra - Ecology letters, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 419–431 Abstract Do invasive plant species have greater
phenotypic plasticity than non‐invasive species? And, if so, how does this affect their fitness …

Can population genetic structure be predicted from life-history traits?
Population genetic structure is a key parameter in evolutionary biology. Earlier comparative
studies have shown that genetic structure depends on species ecological attributes and life …

Functional differences between native and alien species: a global‐scale comparison
A prevalent question in the study of plant invasions has been whether or not invasions can
be explained on the basis of traits. Despite many attempts, a synthetic view of multi‐trait …

Functional and phylogenetic similarity of alien plants to co‐occurring natives
A Ordonez - Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Over the years, several arguments have been proposed to explain the invasibility of a given
community based on the properties of the recipient community. Here, I assessed whether the …
