A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

BMC Ecology / Herbivory of an invasive slug is affected by earthworms and the composition of plant communities [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Biodiversity loss and species invasions are among the most important human-induced global changes. Moreover, these two processes are interlinked as ecosystem invasibility is considered to increase with decreasing biodiversity.

Plant-soil feedbacks promote coexistence and resilience in multi-species communities.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Both ecological theory and empirical evidence suggest that negative frequency dependent feedbacks structure plant communities, but integration of these findings has been limited.

Plant invasions in boreal agricultural habitats : the effects of environmental conditions, species traits and the impact on native diversity [PDF]
, 2012 Plant invasions cause a serious threat to native biodiversity. Agricultural habitats are highly disturbed and often invaded by the alien plant species. Generally, the success of a plant invader depends on the abiotic (e.g.
