Understanding how spatially variable selection shapes adaptation is an area of long-
standing interest in evolutionary ecology. Recent meta-analyses have quantified the extent …

Local adaptation is used as a criterion to select plant materials that will display high fitness
in new environments. A large body of research has explored local adaptation in plants …

Thymus vulgaris has a chemical polymorphism in which individual plants have an essential
oil dominated by either nonphenolic (geraniol,-terpineol, cis-sabinene hydrate, linalool, or 1 …

Introduced plants may out-compete natives by belowground allelopathic effects on soil
communities including the symbionts of native plants. We tested for an allelopathic effect of …

Understanding the influence of spatial scale on ecological processes that occur with exotic
plant invasion can help us identify underlying mechanisms of successful invasion. Here we …

Alterations to ecosystem nitrogen (N) cycling by introduced plant species may increase the
invasibility of habitat providing a positive feedback for the introduced species to become …

The relationship between legumes and rhizobia is an important model mutualism for several
reasons. It is essential to agriculture, it provides a crucial ecosystem service by fixing …
