Physical stress, not biotic interactions, preclude an invasive grass from establishing in forb-dominated salt marshes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Biological invasions have become the focus of considerable concern and ecological research, yet the relative importance of abiotic and biotic factors in controlling the invasibility of habitats to exotic species is not well understood.

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 ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Sand shore ecosystems are extremely vulnerable to alien plant invasions. While most of the abiotic drivers of alien success have been identified, less is known on the role of biological processes driving the invasion.

Invasion complexity at large spatial scales is an emergent property of interactions among landscape characteristics and invader traits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Invasion potential should be part of the evaluation of candidate species for any species introduction. However, estimating invasion risks remains a challenging problem, particularly in complex landscapes.

Biological invasions in agricultural settings: insights from evolutionary biology and population genetics [PDF]
, 2011 Invasion biology and agriculture are intimately related for several reasons and in particular because many agricultural pest species are recent invaders. In this article we suggest that the reconstruction of invasion routes with population genetics-based

Allelopathy of Knotweeds as Invasive Plants [PDF]
Plants, 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.

Why Are Invasive Plants Successful?
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2023 Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and predict the success of non-native plants. Numerous frameworks, hypotheses, and theories have been advanced to conceptualize the interactions of multiple drivers and context ...

Plant invasions in China: an emerging hot topic in invasion science
NeoBiota, 2012 China has shown a rapid economic development in recent decades, and several drivers of this change are known to enhance biological invasions, a major cause of biodiversity loss.
