Geographical patterns in the distribution of naturalized plants in Central America [PDF]
NeoBiotaNon-native plant species are on the rise globally, yet the distribution patterns and environmental drivers in biodiversity-rich regions such as Central America remain poorly understood.

Natural Constraints to Species Diversification
PLOS Biology, 2016 Identifying modes of species diversification is fundamental to our understanding of how biodiversity changes over evolutionary time. Diversification modes are captured in species phylogenies, but characterizing the landscape of diversification has been limited by the analytical tools available for directly comparing phylogenetic trees of groups of ...

Economic use of plants is key to their naturalization success
Nature Communications, 2020 Understanding why certain alien species become naturalized can shed light on biological invasion patterns. In this global analysis on thousands of taxa, van Kleunen and colleagues show that plant species of economic use are more likely to become ...

On the Origin of Species by Natural and Sexual Selection
Science, 2009 Local Selection of Magic Traits Ecological interactions can favor specialization, and sexual selection can induce reproductive isolation; however, these processes are insufficient by themselves to create new species.

Traits data of naturalized and non-naturalized alien species of four Indonesian Botanic Gardens
, 2021 The establishment of new botanic gardens in tropical regions highlights a need for weed risk assessment tools suitable for tropical ecosystems. The relevance of plant traits for invasion into tropical rainforests has not been well studied.

Grasslands are more vulnerable to plant invasions than forests in south-central Nepal
Environmental ChallengesUnderstanding the patterns of plant invasions across vegetation types and identifying the underlying drivers for such patterns is essential to prioritize sites for the effective management of invasive species.
