Interactions between resource availability and enemy release in plant invasion.
Understanding why some exotic species become invasive is essential to controlling their populations. This review discusses the possibility that two mechanisms of invasion, release from natural enemies and increased resource availability, may interact. When plants invade new continents, they leave many herbivores and pathogens behind. Species most regulated by enemies in their native range have ...
متن کاملMathematical theory for plantherbivore systems
The interactions of host plants with herbivores can be mediated by factors other than population sizes or biomass alone. Recent evidence indicates that features of the vegetation (loosely termed "plant quality") may change in response to herbivory and may, in turn, influence the performance of herbivores (i.e. by affecting survivorship, fecundity, or growth rates). A model which incorporates th...
متن کاملBiotic Interactions Overrule Plant Responses to Climate, Depending on the Species' Biogeography
This study presents an experimental approach to assess the relative importance of climatic and biotic factors as determinants of species' geographical distributions. We asked to what extent responses of grassland plant species to biotic interactions vary with climate, and to what degree this variation depends on the species' biogeography. Using a gradient from oceanic to continental climate rep...
متن کاملLinking plant and ecosystem functional biogeography.
Classical biogeographical observations suggest that ecosystems are strongly shaped by climatic constraints in terms of their structure and function. On the other hand, vegetation function feeds back on the climate system via biosphere-atmosphere exchange of matter and energy. Ecosystem-level observations of this exchange reveal very large functional biogeographical variation of climate-relevant...
متن کاملFloristics and plant biogeography in China.
In 1998, a revolutionary system of angiosperm classification, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system was published. Meanwhile, another new system of classification of angiosperms, the eight-class system was proposed by C. Y. Wu and colleagues based on long term work on the flora of China. The Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae project was initiated in 1959 and completed by 2004. It is the large...
