Native perennial grasses show evolutionary response to Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) invasion. [PDF]
Invasive species can change selective pressures on native plants by altering biotic and abiotic conditions in invaded habitats. Although invasions can lead to native species extirpation, they may also induce rapid evolutionary changes in remnant native ...
