Using the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative database7, we determined native tree status (native or non-native) according to the Global Naturalized Alien Flora6and the KEW Plants of the World databases5. This dataset encompassed 471,888 plots, of which 4.9% of plots were invaded, or containe...
petiolata and West Virginia (WV) populations where A. petiolata is present. Larval survival to the 3rd instar was equally low in both populations when raised on A. petiolata. Mean oviposition preference on the two plants also did not differ between populations. However, we found a seasonal ...

Summary Invasive plants, herbivores and site management history can play crucial roles in determining plant community composition. The net effects of invasive species on plant communities are well known, but we have a poor understanding of the relative contributions of direct competitive effects of ...
Normally, plants preferentially absorb water from stable and continuous sources. For instance, deep-rooted species (e.g., trees and semi-arbors) can take up deeper water sources stably, enabling them to survive and tolerate seasonal water stress, i.e., go without rain for a long time [30...
