Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 419–431 Abstract Do invasive plant species have greater
phenotypic plasticity than non‐invasive species? And, if so, how does this affect their fitness …

Invasion biologists often suggest that phenotypic plasticity plays an important role in
successful plant invasions. Assuming that plasticity enhances ecological niche breadth and …

Invasion ecology, the study of how organisms spread in habitats to which they are not native,
asks both about the invasiveness of species and the invasibility of habitats: Which species …

Invasive nonindigenous plant species (NIPS) threaten native diversity, alter ecosystem
processes, and may interact with other components of global environmental change. Here, a …

Climate models project that by 2100, the northeastern US and eastern Canada will warm by
approximately 3–5° C, with increased winter precipitation. These changes will affect trees …

Eastern deciduous forests have been invaded by two exotic species that often dominate the
understory vegetation. Berberis thunbergii, a woody shrub, forms dense thickets, while …

Plant populations and species differ greatly in phenotypic plasticity. This could be because
plasticity is advantageous under some conditions and disadvantageous or not …

Aim We aim to report what hyperspectral remote sensing can offer for invasion ecologists
and review recent progress made in plant invasion research using hyperspectral remote …

Phenotypic plasticity is commonly considered as a trait associated with invasiveness in alien
plants because it may enhance the ability of plants to occupy a wide range of environments …

Invasive exotic species pose significant challenges for natural resource managers charged
with the maintenance of biological diversity and the sustainable production of forest …
