Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

We explored traits that promote plant invasions. External factors affecting invasion success
consist of various abiotic and biotic constraints. How well plants perform under those …

Release from enemies can lead to rapid evolution in invasive plants, including reduced
metabolic investment in defence. Conversely, reassociation with enemies leads to renewed …

Invasive alien plants, together with organisms introduced for biological control, are ideal
study systems with which to address questions of whether, and how fast, organisms adapt to …

Insect herbivory can affect interactions between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi through herbivore‐modified root carbon pools, while the specific metabolic changes …

Invasive non-native plants (INNP) cause severe impacts on nature and human well-being,
and these are predicted to increase. While management tools have been developed to …

A comparative analysis of invasive plants in China and the USA, the climates of which are
similar, revealed both similarities and differences in taxonomic characteristics …

Abstract Background Flowers of Chrysanthemum× morifolium Ramat. are used as tea in
traditional Chinese cuisine. However, with increasing population and urbanization, water …

Abstract The Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH) predicts that the escape from natural
enemies, such as specialist herbivores, may explain the invasiveness of some invasive alien …

Plants are often exposed to multiple herbivores and densities of these attackers (or
corresponding damage intensities) often fluctuate greatly in the field. Plant‐mediated …
