Preadaptation and naturalization of nonnative species: Darwin's two fundamental insights into species invasion
Predicting which nonnative species become invasive is critical for their successful
management, and Charles Darwin provided predictions based on species' relatedness …

Similarity of introduced plant species to native ones facilitates naturalization, but differences enhance invasion success
The search for traits associated with plant invasiveness has yielded contradictory results, in
part because most previous studies have failed to recognize that different traits are important …
