Pre-adaptation to anthropogenic disturbance is broadly considered key for plant invasion
success. Nevertheless, empirical evidence remains scarce and fragmentary, given the …

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity because of invasive alien species'
high population growth rates and spread in new ranges. The inherent superiority hypothesis …

Aim Anthropogenic environmental modifications such as climate or land‐use change are
causing species to move on their own beyond their native ranges. As this phenomenon will …

Competition is commonly thought to underlie the impact of plant invasions. However,
competitive effects of aliens and competitive response of natives may also change over time …

Facilitation has been a long-neglected type of interaction but received more attention
recently. Legumes are commonly involved in facilitative interactions due to their nitrogen …

Strategies to counteract the loss of arable plant diversity often target field margins. Yet there
is still need for research on how arable plant diversity is impacted by the type, scale and …

Climate warming and increased disturbance (resulting from intensified land use) are
expected to enhance the invasibility of plant communities and the performance of exotic …

Alien plants experience novel abiotic conditions and interactions with native communities in
the introduced area. Intra‐and interspecific selection on functional traits in the new …
