Lags in the response of mountain plant communities to climate change
Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Evolutionary imbalance, climate and human history jointly shape the global biogeography of alien plants
Human activities are causing global biotic redistribution, translocating species and providing
them with opportunities to establish populations beyond their native ranges. Species …

Regional occupancy increases for widespread species but decreases for narrowly distributed species in metacommunity time series
While human activities are known to elicit rapid turnover in species composition through
time, the properties of the species that increase or decrease their spatial occupancy …

A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and …
With the growing body of literature assessing the impact of invasive alien plants on resident
species and ecosystems, a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between invasive …

Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions
Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native
ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species,. Tree invasions in particular have …

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 …

Community assembly theory as a framework for biological invasions
Biological invasions present a global problem underlain by an ecological paradox that
thwarts explanation: how do some exotic species, evolutionarily naïve to their new …

Naturalization of introduced plants: ecological drivers of biogeographical patterns
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 …
