The previously released packages of the PhyloMaker series (ie S. PhyloMaker, V.
PhyloMaker, and V. PhyloMaker2) have been broadly used to generate phylogenetic trees …

Species diversity of angiosperms (flowering plants) varies greatly among regions.
Geographic patterns of variation in species diversity are shaped by the interplay of …

The tendency of species to retain ancestral ecological distributions (phylogenetic niche
conservatism) is thought to influence which species from a species pool can persist in a …

Beta diversity (β-diversity) is the scalar between local (α) and regional (γ) diversity.
Understanding geographic patterns of β-diversity is central to ecology, biogeography, and …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is the highest and one of the most extensive
plateaus in the world. Investigating naturalized non-native plant species composition …

Invasive species may pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem structure and
functioning. The number of introduced species that have become invasive is substantial and …

Rapid urbanization and high-intensity socio-economic activities in China have caused
severe ecological problems. Implementing ecological restoration in China has become an …

Understanding the causes and consequences of biological invasions is a great challenge in
ecology and conservation biology. The ability to predict which naturalized species are likely …

In eastern Asian subtropical forests, leaf habit shifts from evergreen to deciduous broad-
leaved woody plants toward higher latitudes. This shift has been largely explained by the …

Aim The ability of predicting which naturalized non‐native species are likely to become
invasive can help manage and prevent species invasions. The goal of this study is to test …
