One of the most cited hypotheses explaining the inordinate success of a small proportion of
introduced plants that become pests is the 'natural enemies hypothesis'. This states that …

Of the 70 cases of classical biological control for the protection of nature found in our review,
there were fewer projects against insect targets (21) than against invasive plants (49), in …

The impact of exotic species on native organisms is widely acknowledged, but poorly
understood. Very few studies have empirically investigated how invading plants may alter …

Invasion by non‐native plants may fundamentally restructure the soil fungal community. The
invasive plant, Alliaria petiolata, produces secondary compounds suppressive to …

Invasive species offer excellent model systems for studying rapid evolutionary change. In
this context, molecular markers play an important role because they provide information …

Exotic plants may act as population sinks or evolutionary traps for native herbivores. The
native butterfly Pieris oleracea lays eggs on garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, but larvae …

The effects of the invasive exotic Prosopis juliflora shrubs on the natural plant communities
and soil chemical characters were assessed in two regions of the United Arab Emirates …

Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is a nonnative, shade-tolerant forb that was introduced into
North America in the mid-1800s. Currently, garlic mustard is spreading across the landscape …

This paper demonstrates the use of a bioclimatic model mapped over geographical regions
as a tool for spatially refined risk assessment for the establishment of non‐indigenous plants …

Nonindigenous invasive plants pose a major threat to natural communities worldwide.
Biological control of weeds via selected introduction of their natural enemies can affect …
