Darwin's naturalization conundrum can be explained by spatial scale
Darwin proposed two seemingly contradictory hypotheses regarding factors influencing the
outcome of biological invasions. He initially posited that nonnative species closely related to …

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis challenged
RP Duncan, PA Williams - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
Naturalized plants can have a significant ecological and economic impact, yet they comprise
only a fraction of the plant species introduced into new areas by humans. Darwin proposed …

Phylogenetic relatedness of native and exotic plants along climate gradients in California, USA
Abstract Aim One hypothesis of Darwin's naturalization conundrum, the pre‐adaptation
hypothesis, proposed that exotics that are more closely related to species in native …

The role of phylogenetic relatedness on alien plant success depends on the stage of invasion
Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts successful alien invaders to be distantly related
to native species, whereas his pre-adaptation hypothesis predicts the opposite. It has been …

The poleward naturalization of intracontinental alien plants
Plant introductions outside their native ranges by humans have led to substantial ecological
consequences. While we have gained considerable knowledge about intercontinental …

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis revisited
CC Daehler - The American Naturalist, 2001 - journals.uchicago.edu
I used Wagner et al.(1999) to identify all genera of flowering plants native to the Hawaiian
Islands. I then compared these native genera to the generic affinities of wellnaturalized …

Darwin's preadaptation hypothesis and the phylogenetic structure of native and alien regional plant assemblages across North America
Aim Studies focusing on relatively small spatial scales have shown that alien plants are
more likely to invade phylogenetically clustered communities, and that the introduction of …

Learning from failures: testing broad taxonomic hypotheses about plant naturalization
JM Diez, PA Williams, RP Randall, JJ Sullivan… - Ecology …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Our understanding of broad taxonomic patterns of plant naturalizations is based entirely on
observations of successful naturalizations. Omission of the failures, however, can introduce …

The global loss of floristic uniqueness
Regional species assemblages have been shaped by colonization, speciation and
extinction over millions of years. Humans have altered biogeography by introducing species …
