Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions
among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism …

Metacommunity ecology combines local (eg, environmental filtering and biotic interactions)
and regional (eg, dispersal and heterogeneity) processes to understand patterns of species …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

The field of biological invasions arouses considerable interest within different sec tors of
society. Many scientists are curious to understand how introduced species have been …

• Premise of the study: Invasive plant species are typically thought to pose a large threat to
native biodiversity, and local‐scale studies typically confirm this view. However, plant …

Invasive plants can disrupt a range of trophic interactions in native communities. As a novel
resource they can affect the performance of native insect herbivores and their natural …

Interactions between individual consumer and resource organisms can be modified by
neighbors, eg, when herbivory depends on the identity or diversity of neighboring plants …

摘要生物入侵是生态学研究的热点问题. 近年来, 诸多研究在入侵机理及入侵后效等方面取得一
系列进展. 在全球变化背景下, 外来生物凸显出形式更为多样的入侵过程并为入侵生态学带来新 …

The spread of invasive species is a threat to ecosystems worldwide. However, we know
relatively little about how invasive species affect the behaviour of native animals, even …

Invasive plants are an increasing threat to global biodiversity. Effective management
depends on accurate predictions of their spread. However, modelling the geographic …
