Global grass (P oaceae) success underpinned by traits facilitating colonization, persistence and habitat transformation
Poaceae (the grasses) is arguably the most successful plant family, in terms of its global
occurrence in (almost) all ecosystems with angiosperms, its ecological dominance in many …

Similarity of introduced plant species to native ones facilitates naturalization, but differences enhance invasion success
The search for traits associated with plant invasiveness has yielded contradictory results, in
part because most previous studies have failed to recognize that different traits are important …

Naturalization of introduced plants: ecological drivers of biogeographical patterns
DM Richardson, P Pyšek - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The literature on biological invasions is biased in favour of invasive species–those that
spread and often reach high abundance following introduction by humans. It is, however …
