Eco-evolutionary feedback reshapes competitive dynamics in an orchard fly system

The feedback between competition and evolution is central to hypotheses about the origin and maintenance of species diversity. Yet, whether competition-induced evolution is sufficiently rapid, consist...

Are non-native plants less reliant on mycorrhizae than co-occurring native plants? Contrary to expectation, heterogeneity across biomes suggests that symbiotic flexibility does not consistently confer an advantage for non-native species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mycorrhizal strategy of non-native plants varies with biome and disturbance - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Mycorrhizal strategy could be one of the factors that explain why certain non-native species become successful invaders. This study tests this idea at the global scale and explores geographic patterns...

In a recent interview with @nytimes.com, NYBG's @evecologist.bsky.social shares how being proactive with invasive species is key to preserving our landscapes. And if you’re a home gardener, it’s not just about reacting to invasives—but making sure you’re not buying them to begin with.

Why are non‐native plants successful? Consistently fast economic traits and novel origin jointly explain abundance across US ecoregions

Are non-native plants abundant because they are non-native, and have advantages over native plants, or because they possess ‘fast’ resource strategies, and have advantages in disturbed environments?...

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W
