R Palit, G Gramig, ES DeKeyser - Plants, 2021 - mdpi.com
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most aggressive grasses invading
Northern Great Plains (NGP) grasslands, resulting in substantial native species losses …

Traits linked with species invasiveness and community invasibility vary with time, stage and indicator of invasion in a long‐term grassland experiment

JA Catford, AL Smith, PD Wragg, AT Clark… - Ecology …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Much uncertainty remains about traits linked with successful invasion–the establishment and
spread of non‐resident species into existing communities. Using a 20‐year experiment …

Responses of common and rare aliens and natives to nutrient availability and fluctuations

Y Liu, M van Kleunen - Journal of Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Global environmental change not only includes changes in mean environmental conditions
but also in temporal environmental fluctuations. Because it is frequently suggested that …

Do hypervolumes have holes?

B Blonder - The American Naturalist, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Hypervolumes are used widely to conceptualize niches and trait distributions for both
species and communities. Some hypervolumes are expected to be convex, with boundaries …

Testing the trait‐based community framework: Do functional traits predict competitive outcomes?

JL Funk, AA Wolf - Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Plant traits can be used to understand a range of ecological processes, including
competition with invasive species. The extent to which native and invasive species are …

Vulnerability of non-native invasive plants to novel pathogen attack: do plant traits matter?

C Fahey, A Koyama, PM Antunes - Biological Invasions, 2022 - Springer
Exotic invasive plants are considered major threats to biodiversity globally; however, our
understanding of the long-term dynamics of invasion remains limited. Over time, invasive …

Belowground competition drives invasive plant impact on native species regardless of nitrogen availability

A Broadbent, CJ Stevens, DA Peltzer, NJ Ostle… - Oecologia, 2018 - Springer
Plant invasions and eutrophication are pervasive drivers of global change that cause
biodiversity loss. Yet, how invasive plant impacts on native species, and the mechanisms …

Different functional characteristics can explain different dimensions of plant invasion success

H Liao, RW Pal, Ü Niinemets, M Bahn… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The success of invasive plant species can be evaluated using different dimensions, such as,
range size, abundance and impact. These different dimensions do not always covary but are …

Distinct responses of niche and fitness differences to water availability underlie variable coexistence outcomes in semi‐arid annual plant communities

CE Wainwright, J HilleRisLambers, HR Lai… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is predicted to have profound consequences for multispecies coexistence,
and thus, patterns of biological diversity. These consequences will be mediated by direct …
