Evolutionary imbalance, climate and human history jointly shape the global biogeography of alien plants
Human activities are causing global biotic redistribution, translocating species and providing
them with opportunities to establish populations beyond their native ranges. Species …

The role of phylogenetic relatedness on alien plant success depends on the stage of invasion
Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts successful alien invaders to be distantly related
to native species, whereas his pre-adaptation hypothesis predicts the opposite. It has been …
