Applying beneficial bacteria in rice rhizosphere to manage heavy metal behaviour in soil-
plant system is a promising strategy. However, colonization/domination of exogenous …

Although phylogenetic distance between native and exotic species has a close link with their
interactions, it is still unclear how environmental stresses and species interactions influence …

Secondary invasions in which nontarget invaders expand following eradication of a target
invader commonly occur in habitats with multiple invasive plant species and can prevent …

Understanding what species characteristics allow some alien plants to become invasive
while others fail is critical to our understanding of community assembly processes. While …

Despite significant growth in the information on introduced species (NIS), agreement on their
comparative fitness and effects on native (NAT) communities is heterogeneous. Hypotheses …

Aim River flow regimes are changing globally as a consequence of human use of freshwater
resources. Additionally, rivers are among the most invaded ecosystems. Invasion biology …

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain biotic resistance of a recipient plant
community based on reduced niche opportunities for invasive alien plant species. The …

The prediction that higher biodiversity leads to denser niche packing and thus higher
community resistance to invasion has long been studied, with species richness as the …

Darwin's naturalization conundrum describes two seemingly contradictory hypotheses
regarding whether alien species closely or distantly related to native species should be …

Freshwater fish communities are impacted by multiple pressures, determining loss of
functional diversity and redundancy. Our aim was to disentangle the roles and relevancies of …
