Niche conservatism as an emerging principle in ecology and conservation biology
The diversity of life is ultimately generated by evolution, and much attention has focused on
the rapid evolution of ecological traits. Yet, the tendency for many ecological traits to instead …

How to measure and test phylogenetic signal
Phylogenetic signal is the tendency of related species to resemble each other more than
species drawn at random from the same tree. This pattern is of considerable interest in a …

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 …
