Plant invasions — the role of mutualisms [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2000 ABSTRACTMany introduced plant species rely on mutualisms in their new habitats to overcome barriers to establishment and to become naturalized and, in some cases, invasive. Mutualisms involving animalmediated pollination and seed dispersal, and symbioses between plant roots and microbiota often facilitate invasions.

Allelopathy of Knotweeds as Invasive Plants. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Perennial herbaceous Fallopia is native to East Asia, and was introduced to Europe and North America in the 19th century as an ornamental plant. Fallopia has been spreading quickly and has naturalized in many countries. It is listed in the world’s 100 worst alien species.

Epigenetics and the success of invasive plants [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2020 Abstract Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to understand the evolutionary processes that underly invasion success in order to successfully manage existing invaders, and to prevent future ...

Plant invasions and extinction debts [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Whether introduced species invasions pose a major threat to biodiversity is hotly debated. Much of this debate is fueled by recent findings that competition from introduced organisms has driven remarkably few plant species to extinction.

Invasive Plants: Turning Enemies into Value [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 In this review, a brief description of the invasive phenomena associated with plants and its consequences to the ecosystem is presented. Five worldwide invasive plants that are a threat to Portugal were selected as an example, and a brief description of each is presented.

Effects of Invasive Plants on Arthropods [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2014 Abstract Non‐native plants have invaded nearly all ecosystems and represent a major component of global ecological change. Plant invasions frequently change the composition and structure of vegetation communities, which can alter animal communities and ecosystem processes.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Plant‐microbe‐herbivore interactions in invasive and non‐invasive alien plant species [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2013 Summary Plants interact with many organisms, such as microbes and herbivores, and these interactions are likely to affect the establishment and spread of plants. In the context of plant invasions, mycorrhizal fungi and constitutive and induced resistance of plants against herbivores have received attention independently of each other. However, plants
