The evolution of increased competitive ability, innate competitive advantages, and novel biochemical weapons act in concert for a tropical invader.
There are many non-mutually exclusive mechanisms for exotic invasions but few studies have concurrently tested more than one hypothesis for the same species. Here, we tested the evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) hypothesis in two common garden experiments in which Chromolaena odorata plants originating from native and nonnative ranges were grown in competition with natives from ...
متن کاملIntegrating novel chemical weapons and evolutionarily increased competitive ability in success of a tropical invader.
The evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) hypothesis and the novel weapons hypothesis (NWH) are two non-mutually exclusive mechanisms for exotic plant invasions, but few studies have simultaneously tested these hypotheses. Here we aimed to integrate them in the context of Chromolaena odorata invasion. We conducted two common garden experiments in order to test the EICA hypothesis, a...

The Mongols, once restricted to a small portion of central Asia, swept into Russia, Hungary, Poland, and Germany and consistently defeated much larger European armies. It was only the death of the Mongol leader, Ogedai K...
متن کاملTesting the evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) hypothesis in a novel framework.
The "evolution of increased competitive ability" (EICA) hypothesis proposes that escape from natural enemies, e.g., after transcontinental introductions, alters the selection regime because costly defenses no longer enhance fitness. Such an evolutionary loss of defenses enables resources to be directed toward growth or other traits improving performance. We tested the EICA hypothesis in a novel...
