We review the state of the art of alien plant research with emphasis on conceptual advances
and knowledge gains on general patterns and drivers, biotic interactions, and evolution …

Artificial light at night has rapidly increased during the last century, and could potentially
affect many ecological processes, from individuals via communities to entire ecosystems …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been and still is rapidly spreading and has become an
important component of global change. Although numerous studies have tested its potential …

premise Invasive species are expected to undergo a reduction in genetic diversity due to
founder effects, which should limit their ability to adapt to new habitats. Still, many invasive …

Both exotic and native plant species rely on insect pollinators for reproductive success, and
yet few studies have evaluated whether and how exotic plant species receive services from …

Weedy species provide excellent opportunities to examine the process of successful
colonization of novel environments. Despite the influence of the sexual system on a variety …

Biological invasions are key to understanding ecological processes that determine the
formation of novel interactions. Alien species can negatively impact floral visitation to native …

Investigating the factors that determine whether interactions are competitive or facilitative is
essential to understanding community structure and trait evolution. Co-flowering plants …

Biological invasions may result from multiple introductions, which might compensate for
reduced gene pools caused by bottleneck events, but could also dilute adaptive processes …
