The role of phylogenetic relatedness on alien plant success depends on the stage of invasion
Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts successful alien invaders to be distantly related
to native species, whereas his pre-adaptation hypothesis predicts the opposite. It has been …

Invasion drives plant diversity loss through competition and ecosystem modification
Although invasive plants increasingly contribute to the current biodiversity crisis, the
mechanisms through which they impact native communities are still poorly understood …
