Plant invasion is significantly affected by environmental factors in the recipient habitats and
affects the stability and sustainable development of society. The invasiveness of alien plants …

The prediction that higher biodiversity leads to denser niche packing and thus higher
community resistance to invasion has long been studied, with species richness as the …

Phylogenetic and functional diversity are theorised to increase invasion resistance.
Experimentally testing whether plant communities higher in these components of diversity …

The geographical distribution of plants is influenced by macroclimate and dispersal
limitations, which have led to lineage isolation and subsequent diversification within and …

Invasive alien plants have invaded various habitats, posing a threat to biodiversity. Several
hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of invasion, but few studies …

Anthropization worldwide is increasingly homogenizing biodiversity, ie, impoverishment of
phylogenetic and functional diversity. This study aimed to assess plant phylogenetic …

Identifying the mechanisms underlying invasive plant establishment and native plant decline
remains a central goal in ecology, particularly for biodiversity hotspots such as islands. We …

Anemone and Gladiolus are economically important geophyte genera due to their usage as
ornamental plants. However, species identification is still under debate. Recently, DNA …

Globalization has resulted in the anthropogenic movement of plant species, many of which
have established and become invasive in their secondary ranges. A fundamental goal in …
