Selection on tropane alkaloids in native and non‐native populations of Datura stramonium
(Wiley, 2019)
heories of plant invasion based on enemy release in a new range assume that selection exerted by specialist herbivores on defence traits should be reduced, absent, or even selected against in the new environment. Here, we ...

A Trip Back Home: Resistance to Herbivores of Native and Non-Native Plant Populations of Datura stramonium
(MDPI, 2024-01)
When colonizing new ranges, plant populations may benefit from the absence of the checks imposed by the enemies, herbivores, and pathogens that regulated their numbers in their original range. Therefore, rates of plant ...

Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
. When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase ...
