Trait-based modelling in ecology: a review of two decades of research
Trait-based approaches are an alternative to species-based approaches for functionally
linking individual organisms with community structure and dynamics. In the trait-based …

MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions
Macroecology is the study of patterns, and the processes that determine those patterns, in
the distribution and abundance of organisms at large scales, whether they be spatial (from …

Planting intensity, residence time, and species traits determine invasion success of alien woody species
P Pyšek, M Křivánek, V Jarošík - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We studied the relative importance of residence time, propagule pressure, and species traits
in three stages of invasion of alien woody plants cultivated for about 150 years in the Czech …

The global invasion success of Central European plants is related to distribution characteristics in their native range and species traits
Aim Determining which traits predispose a species to become invasive is a fundamental
question of invasion ecology, but traits affect invasiveness in concert with other factors that …

Gene flow, invasiveness, and ecological impact of genetically modified crops
The main environmental concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops are the potential
weediness or invasiveness in the crop itself or in its wild or weedy relatives as a result of …

A general hypothesis of forest invasions by woody plants based on whole‐plant carbon economics
Although closed‐canopy forests are characterized by low‐light availability and slow
population dynamics, many are under threat from non‐native, invasive woody species that …

Trait interactions help explain plant invasion success in the German flora
Summary 1 The search for characteristics that promote invasion success constitutes one of
the most challenging tasks in invasion ecology. So far the main focus in multispecies studies …

Hierarchical models facilitate spatial analysis of large data sets: a case study on invasive plant species in the northeastern United States
Many critical ecological issues require the analysis of large spatial point data sets–for
example, modelling species distributions, abundance and spread from survey data. But …

Factors explaining alien plant invasion success in a tropical ecosystem differ at each stage of invasion
Summary 1 Understanding why some alien plant species become invasive when others fail
is a fundamental goal in invasion ecology. We used detailed historical planting records of …
