EVOLUTIONARY RESPONSES OF NATIVE PLANTS TO NOVEL COMMUNITY MEMBERS

Evolutionary responses of native plants to novel community members.

Both ecological and evolutionary processes can influence community assembly and stability, and native community members may respond both ecologically and evolutionarily as additional species enter established communities. Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to examine these responses of native community members to novel species additions. Here, I use reciprocal transplant experime...

Evolutionary responses of native plant species to invasive plants: a review.

Strong competition from invasive plant species often leads to declines in abundances and may, in certain cases, cause localized extinctions of native plant species. Nevertheless, studies have shown that certain populations of native plant species can co-exist with invasive plant species,suggesting the possibility of adaptive evolutionary responses of those populations to the invasive plants. Em...

native speaker norms and teaching english to non_native speakers : the case of iranian efl learners

امروزه، این که زبان انگلیسی سریع ترین و گسترده ترین زبان مورد استفاده در سراسر جهان است به عنوان یک واقعیت پذیرفته شده است. استفاده مشترک از زبان انگلیسی به عنوان یک زبان بین المللی مستلزم هنجارها و مدل های یادگیری و تدریس زبان است. زبان شناسان توجه ویژه ای به مفهوم "زبان مادری" به عنوان تنها منبع درست و قابل اعتماد از داده های زبان می داده اند.با این حال، این اصطلاح به اندازه کافی روشن به نظر ...

Community‐level plant–soil feedbacks explain landscape distribution of native and non‐native plants

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) have gained attention for their potential role in explaining plant growth and invasion. While promising, most PSF research has measured plant monoculture growth on different soils in short-term, greenhouse experiments. Here, five soil types were conditioned by growing one native species, three non-native species, or a mixed plant community in different plots in a com...
