Non-native plants are now a pervasive feature of ecosystems across the globe 1. One hypothesis
for this pattern is that introduced species occupy open niches in recipient communities …

Identifying sources of genetic variation and reconstructing invasion routes for non‐native
introduced species is central to understanding the circumstances under which they may evolve …

Invasive species could benefit from being introduced to locations with more favorable species
interactions, including the loss of enemies, the gain of mutualists, or the simplification of …

In some plant populations, the availability of seeds strongly regulates recruitment. However,
a scarcity of germination microsites, granivory or density-dependent mortality can reduce the …

Plants interact with numerous enemies and mutualists simultaneously and sequentially. Such
multispecies interactions can give rise to trait‐mediated indirect effects that are likely to be …

Biological control (the importation of enemies from an invader's native range) is often considered
our best chance of controlling the most widespread invaders. Ideally, the agent reduces …

Many invasive plants are attacked by more than one biocontrol agent. Attack by multiple
enemies may give rise to indirect interactions, the nature of which may be influenced by the …

Invasive plants often occupy large ranges in the introduced region and consequently, local
population dynamics vary in ways that affect the potential for biological control. We used …

Herbivore damage often deters pollinator visitation and many invasive plants in North
America are pollinator-dependent. This has important implications for the biological control of …
