Invasive species are a key driver of the global biodiversity crisis, but the drivers of
invasiveness, including the role of pathogens, remain debated. We investigated the genomic …

Human actions have led to large‐scale shifts in the distributions of species, which have
accelerated over recent decades. Two contributing factors include the introduction of non …

Climate change may affect plant–herbivore interactions and their associated ecosystem
functions. In an experimental evolution approach, we subjected replicated populations of the …

Re‐establishment of heritable latitudinal clines in growth‐related traits has been recognised
as evidence for adaptive evolution in invasive plants. However, less information is known …

Hundreds of plants and half a kilogram of seeds of Spartina alterniflora, which were
collected from Morehead City in North Carolina, Sapelo Island in Georgia, and Tampa Bay …

Uncovering the genomic basis of repeated adaption can provide important insights into the
constraints and biases that limit the diversity of genetic responses. Demographic processes …

Plants growing outside their native range may be confronted by new regimes of herbivory,
but how this affects plant chemical defence profiles has rarely been studied. Using Plantago …

Introduced plants create lasting abiotic and biotic changes to soil that are increasingly
implicated as major drivers of invasion success, yet models for investigating patterns in the …

There is growing evidence that rapid adaptation to novel environments drives successful
establishment and spread of invasive plant species. However, the mechanisms driving trait …

Geographical variation in the environment underpins selection for local adaptation and
evolutionary divergence among populations. Because many environmental conditions vary …
