Quantifying differences between native and introduced species

NP Lemoine, DE Burkepile, JD Parker - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016 - cell.com
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

E Palma, J Yen, PA Vesk, M Vilà, JA Catford - bioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
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?

SY Strauss, JA Lau, SP Carroll - Ecology letters, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
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?

J Duminil, S Fineschi, A Hampe… - The American …, 2007 - journals.uchicago.edu
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 Ordonez, IJ Wright, H Olff - Functional Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
