Invasive nonindigenous plant species (NIPS) threaten native diversity, alter ecosystem
processes, and may interact with other components of global environmental change. Here, a …

Wetlands seem to be especially vulnerable to invasions. Even though≤ 6% of the earth's
land mass is wetland, 24%(8 of 33) of the world's most invasive plants are wetland species …

What determines the number and size of the seeds produced by a plant? How often should it
reproduce them? How often should a plant produce them? Why and how are seeds …

Global change may substantially affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning but little is
known about its effects on essential biotic interactions. Since different environmental drivers …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-

1. The habitat components determining the structure of bee communities are well known
when considering foraging resources; however, there is little data with respect to the role of …

1 Multiple-species floral displays have been hypothesized to facilitate pollination by
attracting a greater number and/or diversity of pollinators. Here I present experimental …

The analysis of ecological networks has gained a very prominent foothold in ecology over
the last years. While many publications try to elucidate patterns about the networks, others …

Interspecific pollen transfer (IPT) is one of the mechanisms underlying potential competition
among plants for pollinators, and it refers to movement of pollen between different plant …

Invasive species are frequently regarded as superlative competitors that can vegetatively
crowd out natives, but little is known about whether invasives can compete for pollination …
