Evaluating Hypotheses of Plant Species Invasions on Mediterranean Islands: Inverse Patterns between Alien and Endemic Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Invasive alien species cause major changes to ecosystem functioning and patterns of biodiversity, and the main factors involved in invasion success remain contested.

Plant-soil feedbacks promote coexistence and resilience in multi-species communities.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Understanding trade pathways to target biosecurity surveillance

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2013
Increasing trends in global trade make it extremely difficult to prevent the entry of all potential invasive species (IS). Establishing early detection strategies thus becomes an important part of the continuum used to reduce the introduction of invasive

Landscape, demographic, and dispersal parameters influence the spread and establishment of an aquatic biological invasion

open access: yesEcosphere
Human‐mediated species introductions are contributing to the biotic homogenization of global flora and fauna. Despite extensive research, we lack simple methods of predicting how and where an introduced species will spread and establish, particularly in ...

Nitrogen deposition modulates invasibility and stability of plant communities in microplastic-contaminated wetlands

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Invasive plant species pose a significant threat to the integrity and biodiversity of local ecosystems. Microplastic pollution and nitrogen deposition, as detrimental consequences of human activities, impact the growth of wetland plants.

Diverse Ecological Strategies Increase Invasion Resistance in an Experimental Grassland Restoration

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Understanding how the characteristics of native plant communities influence invasion is a pressing question, with implications for theory and management.
