One of the most well-supported theories regarding the evolution of plant defenses is the
resource availability hypothesis (RAH). RAH posits that species from high-resource …

Non‐native invasive species (NIS) release chemicals into the environment that are unique to
the invaded communities, defined as novel chemicals. Novel chemicals impact competitors …

Soil microorganisms can influence the development of complex plant phenotypes, including
resistance to herbivores. This microbiome‐mediated plasticity may be particularly important …

摘要植物入侵是最严重的全球问题之一, 严重破坏生态系统的结构和功能.
随着植物入侵现象日益严峻, 要控制和解决外来植物入侵问题, 了解和掌握植物入侵机制尤为 …

The enemy release hypothesis states that introduced plants have a competitive advantage
due to their release from co-evolved natural enemies (ie, herbivores and pathogens), which …

Light quality and chemicals in a plant's environment can provide crucial information about
the presence and nature of antagonists, such as competitors and herbivores. Here, we …

We explored traits that promote plant invasions. External factors affecting invasion success
consist of various abiotic and biotic constraints. How well plants perform under those …

Spatiotemporal variation in herbivory is a major driver of intraspecific variation in plant
defense. Comparatively little is known, however, about how changes in herbivory regime …

Geographic variation in the traits of a species is shaped by variation in abiotic conditions,
biotic interactions, and evolutionary history of its interactions with other species. We studied …

Some plants use allelopathy to compete against neighbouring plants, and the ability to
induce allelopathic compound production in response to competition is hypothesized to be …
