Ecology, Evolution, and North American Invasion of One of the World's Most Successful Plant Species
Phragmites australis is one of the most widely distributed macrophytes in the world and a compelling model system for biological invasions, as both native and introduced lineages grow sympatrically ac...

New paper @biolinvasions.bsky.social led by Sarah-Sophie Weil. Can macroevolution inform contemporary invasion potential? We outline the assumptions of this approach, assess support, then test if dispersal ability can proxy for naturalisation success in several tetrapod groups. rdcu.be/eD9Tt
Schematic figure indicating scientific support for the assumptions underlying the relationship between diversification rate and current naturalisation potential.

1/ Invasional meltdown is a popular but nebulous concept in invasion ecology. It involves multiple direct & indirect mechanisms, yet it is rarely studied beyond simple pairwise facilitations. In a new paper, we expand the concept & offer testable hypotheses: redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...
