Intraspecific competitive ability declines towards the edge of the expanding range of the invasive vine Mikania micrantha

F Huang, S Peng - Oecologia, 2016‏ - Springer
The evolution of competitive ability plays an important role in plant invasions. While many

Evolution of marginal populations of an invasive vine increases the likelihood of future spread

FF Kilkenny, LF Galloway - New Phytologist, 2016‏ - Wiley Online Library

Conspecific and heterospecific plant–soil biota interactions of Lonicera japonica in its native and introduced range: implications for invasion success

MN Uddin, T Asaeda, A Sarkar, VP Ranawakage… - Plant Ecology, 2021‏ - Springer
We tested the 'enemy release hypothesis' in relation to Lonicera japonica to determine the
