Synergy between roads and disturbance favour Bromus tectorum L. invasion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Global change produces pervasive negative impacts on biodiversity worldwide. Land use change and biological invasions are two of the major drivers of global change that often coexist; however, the effects of their interaction on natural ...

Native perennial grasses show evolutionary response to Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) invasion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 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 ...

Bromus tectorum Response to Fire Varies with Climate Conditions [PDF]
Ecosystems, 2014 The invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) forms a positive feedback with fire in some areas of western North America’s sagebrush biome by increasing fire frequency and size, which then increases B. tectorum abundance post-fire and dramatically alters ecosystem structure and processes.

Lack of Host Specialization on Winter Annual Grasses in the Fungal Seed Bank Pathogen Pyrenophora semeniperda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Generalist plant pathogens may have wide host ranges, but many exhibit varying degrees of host specialization, with multiple pathogen races that have narrower host ranges. These races are often genetically distinct, with each race causing highest disease

Preadapted to adapt: underpinnings of adaptive plasticity revealed by the downy brome genome
Communications Biology, 2023 A high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome for the invasive weed Bromus tectorum is assembled and its utility demonstrated through a genome wide association study identifying QTLs that affect reproductive phenology and plant height.
