Biological Invasions

Naturalization of introduced plants is driven by life-form-dependent cultivation biases

Most naturalized plants are escapees from cultivation. Inventories of cultivated introduced species thus offer unique, still …

A latitudinal gradient in Darwin’s naturalization conundrum at the global scale for vascular plants

Darwin’s naturalization conundrum describes two seemingly contradictory hypotheses regarding whether alien species closely or distantly …

A latitudinal gradient in Darwin’s naturalization conundrum at the global scale for vascular plants

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 …

Macroecology and Macroevolution of Naturalized Alien Plants

The drivers and consequences of naturalization of alien plants at the global scale.

Cultivated alien plants with high invasion potential are more likely to be traded online in China

Biological invasions have become a worldwide problem, and measures to efficiently prevent and control invasions are still in …

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 …
