Do invasive alien plants benefit more from global environmental change than native plants

TL;DR: Elevated temperature and CO2 enrichment increased performance of invasive alien plants more strongly than was the case for native plants, and increases in the four other components of global environmental change considered, particularly global warming and atmosphericCO2 enrichment, may further increase the spread of invasive plants in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive plant species are locally adapted just as frequently and at least as strongly as native plant species
TL;DR: A phylogenetically controlled meta-analysis to compare invasive and native plant species for differences in the frequency and magnitude of local adaptation found that local plants performed better than foreign plants, and invasive plant species expressed local adaptation just as frequently, and at least as strongly as that exhibited by native plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field parasitism rates of caterpillars on Brassica oleracea plants are reliably predicted by differential attraction of Cotesia parasitoids

TL;DR: This work confirms that through HIPVs plants attract parasitoids that effectively parasitize herbivores even under the complex and variable abiotic and biotic conditions in (agro-) ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduced Brassica nigra populations exhibit greater growth and herbivore resistance but less tolerance than native populations in the native range.
TL;DR: The post-introduction evolution of a trade-off between resistance to and tolerance of herbivory of Brassica nigra is explored, contributing to an emerging pattern of both increasing resistance and growth in invasive populations contrary to the predictions of earlier theories of resistance-growth trade-offs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary responses of native plant species to invasive plants : a review
TL;DR: The current results indicate that certain populations of native plant species could potentially adapt evolutionarily to invasive plant species, but the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that probably underlie such evolutionary responses remain unexplored and should be the focus of future studies.
