Introduced invasive alien aquatic plants (IAAPs) threaten ecosystems due to their excessive
growth and have both ecological and economic impacts. To minimize these impacts …

The use of functional traits (FTs) can provide quantitative information to explain macrophyte
ecology more effectively than traditional taxonomic-based methods. This research aims to …

Global warming is expected to strengthen herbivore-plant interactions leading to enhanced
top-down control of plants. However, latitudinal gradients in plant quality as food for …

Invasive alien aquatic plant species (IAAPs) cause serious ecological and economic impact
and are a major driver of changes in aquatic plant communities. Their invasive success is …

Submerged macrophytes play an important role in maintaining good water quality in shallow
lakes. Yet extensive stands easily interfere with various services provided by these lakes …

In aquatic ecosystems, large amounts of epiphytic bacteria living on the leaf surfaces of
submerged macrophytes play important roles in affecting plant growth and biogeochemical …

No previous study has examined the large-scale distributional drivers of the entire global
pool of 3,499 macrophyte species, despite the obvious importance of this for understanding …

Globalization and climate change trigger species invasions and range shifts, which reshuffle
communities at an exceptional rate and expose plant migrants to unfamiliar herbivores …

Rising temperatures likely affect the trophic interactions in temperate regions as global
warming progresses. An open question is how a temperature rise may affect consumer …

Many ecosystems are now co‐invaded by alien plant and herbivore species. The
evolutionary naivety of native plants to alien herbivores can make the plants more …
