Shifts in species distributions are a common ecological response to climate change, and
global temperature rise is often hypothesized as the primary driver. However, the directions …

Rapid evolution in colonising populations can alter our ability to predict future range
expansions. Recent theory suggests that the dynamics of replicate range expansions are …

Plant introductions outside their native ranges by humans have led to substantial ecological
consequences. While we have gained considerable knowledge about intercontinental …

Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis posits that species-rich communities are more resistant
to invasion. However, it remains unknown how species, phylogenetic and functional …

The demand for trade has led to unsustainable harvesting of medicinal plants, causing a
decline in their population in natural habitats. This presents a notable problem, however …

Biodiversity is increasingly threatened by local extinction under global climate change. This
may reflect direct effects of climate on poorly adapted native species or increased impacts of …

Anthropogenic disturbances driven introduction of invasive alien plants (IAP) threatened the
native biodiversity and environmental sustainability. IAP induced biotic homogenization can …

Co-flowering plant species often interact through shared pollinators, with effects ranging
from positive (facilitation) to negative (competition). It remains unclear how this variation …

Understanding why some, but not other, plant communities are vulnerable to alien invasive
species is essential for predicting and managing biological invasions. Darwin proposed two …

Alien species are colonizing mountain ecosystems and increasing their elevation ranges in
response to ongoing climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, posing increasing …
