Biological invasion is a major and growing threat to global biodiversity and human well-
being, but research on the impacts of invaders on their recipient environments lags behind …

Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which posits that the alien species either succeed in the
introduced region because being phylogenetically related to the native species hence being …

Aims Darwin's naturalization conundrum describes the paradox that the relationship of
exotic species to native residents could either promote or hinder invasion success through …

The phylogenetic distance between species often predicts differences in ecologically
important traits. The phylogenetic diversity and structure of biological communities can …

Competing phylogenetic models have been proposed to explain the success of species
introduced to other communities. Here, we present a study predicting the establishment …

Anthropogenic change is causing species to shift their ranges poleward. As species move to
higher latitudes, they likely move into less diverse communities and may leave interacting …

The same features that generate native biodiversity patterns across and within oceanic
islands over evolutionary time–climate, soil age, topography, and biotic interactions–also …

Pine rocklands are a globally, critically imperiled ecosystem in south Florida that host a vast
array of biodiversity and face a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. In Chapter 1, I assess …

The question of how native species diversity affects a community's ability to resist invasive
species has inspired decades of research. One of the oldest invasion biology hypotheses is …
