open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Effects of post‐fire on seed germination and seedling recruitment of a generalist savanna woody species

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Vegetation type and microclimate shape recruitment of a generalist tree seedling, while fire history alters cotyledon use over time. Abstract Temperature and humidity are key factors influencing seed germination, varying across vegetation types and in response to disturbances such as fire.
