Aboveground endophyte affects root volatile emission and host plant selection of a belowground insect
Plants emit specific blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that serve as multitrophic,
multifunctional signals. Fungi colonizing aboveground (AG) or belowground (BG) plant …

No evidence for an 'evolution of increased competitive ability'for the invasive Lepidium draba
The ‘evolution of increased competitive ability’ (EICA) hypothesis states that reduced herbivory
in the introduced range causes an evolutionary shift in resource allocation from herbivore …

Influence of insects and fungal pathogens on individual and population parameters of Cirsium arvense in its native and introduced ranges
Introduced weeds are hypothesized to be invasive in their exotic ranges due to release from
natural enemies. Cirsium arvense (Californian, Canada, or creeping thistle) is a weed of …
