TL;DR: Evidence is found that facilitation of poleward range shifts through enhancement of peripheral populations is unlikely in either study species and is likely to be prevented by a lack of host plants.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of studies that removed invasive species and assessed ecological recovery over time found positive or mixed outcomes in most cases, but 31% of the time ecological recovery did not occur or there were negative ecological outcomes, such as increases in non-target invasive species.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that both species may increase at their range edge with warming but the preference for core-like conditions may be stronger in P. zelicaon, while populations of E. propertius at the range boundary may be large enough to act as sources of colonists for range expansions, but range expansion in this species may be prevented by a lack of available host plants further north.

TL;DR: The role that species interactions play in promoting or preventing geographic ranges shifts under current and future climate change is focused on, and key points are illustrated using empirical case studies from an integrated study system.

TL;DR: It is suggested that species that are subject to strong enemy effects in their native range will have a high potential for enemy release, and it was found that native enemy effects were stronger in aquatic systems than in terrestrial systems.
