Predicting which nonnative species become invasive is critical for their successful
management, and Charles Darwin provided predictions based on species' relatedness …

DNA barcoding and metabarcoding provide new avenues for investigating biological
systems. These techniques require well‐curated reference libraries with extensive coverage …

Plants are commonly listed as invasive species, presuming that they cause harm at both
global and regional scales. Approximately 40% of all species listed as invasive within Britain …

Although phylogenetic distance between native and exotic species has a close link with their
interactions, it is still unclear how environmental stresses and species interactions influence …

Aim Several hypotheses postulate that species invasion is affected by an interplay between
the phylogenetic position of the invading species and the phylogenetic structure of the …

Differences in the direction and degree to which invasive alien and native plants are
influenced by mycorrhizal associations could indicate a general mechanism of plant …

Aim Darwin posed a conundrum about species invasions, postulating the importance of
functional distinctiveness from the receiving native community to avoid competition, and, at …

In most plants, stomata are located only on the abaxial leaf surface (hypostomy), but many
plants have stomata on both surfaces (amphistomy). High light and herbaceous growth form …

Invasive alien species have distressing impacts on native biota, causing decline or even
extinctions of native species, and negatively affecting ecosystems. All major invasions are …

Abstract Aim One hypothesis of Darwin's naturalization conundrum, the pre‐adaptation
hypothesis, proposed that exotics that are more closely related to species in native …
