A recent trend in invasion ecology relates the success of non‐indigenous species (NIS) to
reduced control by enemies such as pathogens, parasites and predators (ie the enemy …

Invasive plants can disrupt a range of trophic interactions in native communities. As a novel
resource they can affect the performance of native insect herbivores and their natural …

Although the predatory and competitive impacts of biological invasions are well
documented, facilitation of native species by non-indigenous species is frequently …

1. With evidence of significant global insect declines mounting, urgent calls to mitigate such
declines are also increasing. Efforts to reverse insect declines will only succeed, however, if …

The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) is the best‐known hypothesis explaining high
performance (eg rapid population growth) of exotic species. However, the current framing of …

▪ Abstract The diversity and composition of herbivore assemblages was a favored theme for
community ecology in the 1970s and culminated in 1984 with Insects on Plants by Strong …

Alien plants, defined here as species whose evolutionary history occurred elsewhere, are
replacing native vegetation in natural ecosystems and anthropogenic landscapes …

The host specificity of insect parasitoids and herbivores is thought to be shaped by a suite of
traits that mediate host acceptance and host suitability. We conducted laboratory …

Invasive non‐native plants form interactions with native species and have the potential to
cause direct and indirect impacts on those species, as well as the functioning of invaded …

A suggested mechanism for the success of introduced non-native species is the enemy
release hypothesis (ERH). Many studies have tested the predictions of the ERH using the …
