Most of the world's land surface is currently under human use and natural habitats remain as
fragmented samples of the original landscapes. Measuring the quality of plant progeny sired …

The disruption of mutualisms by invasive species has consequences for biodiversity loss
and ecosystem function. Although invasive plant effects on the pollination of individual …

Despite evidence of pollinator declines from many regions across the globe, the threat this
poses to plant populations is not clear because plants can often produce seeds without …

Rosaceae, Amaranthaceae, Pinaceae), some under-represented (eg Euphorbiaceae,
Rubiaceae), whereas the one richest in naturalized species, Compositae, reaches a value …

This dataset provides the Global Naturalized Alien Flora (Glo NAF) database, version 1.2.
Glo NAF represents a data compendium on the occurrence and identity of naturalized alien …

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) dominates global patterns of diversity,, but the factors
that underlie the LDG remain elusive. Here we use a unique global dataset to show that …

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts successful alien invaders to be distantly related
to native species, whereas his pre-adaptation hypothesis predicts the opposite. It has been …

Genetic diversity (GD) in populations is important in determining the adaptive potential of
populations and is thus thought to influence whether populations decrease or increase in …

Karyological characteristics are among the traits underpinning the invasion success of
vascular plants. Using 11 049 species, we tested the effects of genome size and ploidy …

We review the state of the art of alien plant research with emphasis on conceptual advances
and knowledge gains on general patterns and drivers, biotic interactions, and evolution …
