The hypothesis that interspecific hybridisation promotes invasiveness has received much
recent attention, but tests of the hypothesis can suffer from important limitations. Here, we …

Current research into plant invasiveness often attempts to predict the effect of invasions
under future climate change, but most studies only focus on ecological aspects …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

The input of agro-pollutants, such as microplastics and nanopesticides, on farmlands is
widespread and may facilitate biological invasions in agroecosystems. Here, the effects of …

Sphagneticola trilobata is an invasive plant in South China. A hybrid between S. trilobata
and Sphagneticola calendulacea (a native related species) has also been found in South …

Allelochemicals released by exotic plants can affect neighboring plants. In this study, we
examined the effects of leachate extracted from shoots of an invasive clonal plant (Wedelia …

Plant invasions can affect soil properties in the invaded habitat by altering the biotic and
abiotic nature of soils through positive or negative plant–soil feedback. Litter decomposition …

Abstract Aim Anderson & Stebbins (1954, Evolution, 8, 378–388) posited that human
activities promote species hybridizations by creating opportunities for hybridization and new …

Although invasive species threaten the functional integrity of ecosystems significantly, their
impacts on essential ecosystem processes such as soil phosphorus (P) cycling are not well …

Invasive species and their hybrids with native species threaten biodiversity. However, there
are few reports on the drought stress adaptability of invasive species Sphagneticola trilobata …
