A mechanistic framework of enemy release

JI Brian, JA Catford - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) is the best‐known hypothesis explaining high
performance (eg rapid population growth) of exotic species. However, the current framing of …

Does phenological plasticity help or hinder range shifts under climate change?

MA Zettlemoyer, ML Peterson - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - frontiersin.org
