• The maximum relative growth rate of common UK plant species is positively associated with their global invasiveness (2011, background): “As a result, the role of fast growth rates and associated traits in determining invasion success is likely to be dependent on the habitat (Schumacher et al., 2008; Leishman et al., 2010) and on environmental conditions (Turnbull et al.”
• Invasive species differ in key functional traits from native and non‐invasive alien plant species (2019, background): “Support exists in the literature for both the ‘phenotypic divergence’ and ‘phenotypic con‐ vergence’ hypotheses, although, as here, the ‘phenotypic divergence’ hypothesis tends to be supported most commonly (e.g., Leishman et al., 2007, 2010; Ordonez et al., 2010; van Kleunen et al., 2010).”
• Linking above- and belowground resource use strategies for native and invasive species of temperate deciduous forests (2015, background): “One possibility is that where plant growth is limited by soil N supply, invaders exhibit greater photosynthetic N use efficiency at the leaf level (Funk and Vitousek 2007; Leishman et al. 2010; Ordonez et al. 2010; Ordonez and Olff 2013).”
• Invaders among locals: Alien species decrease phylogenetic and functional diversity while increasing dissimilarity among native community members (2018, background): “Alien species tend to have higher efficiency in resource use than native species, which is reflected in relatively high SLA of aliens (Leishman et al., 2010).”
• Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “Contradictory patterns reported in some meta-analyses (Leishman et al. 2010, Tecco et al. 2010) are a warning that global patterns remain elusive and that comparative findings depend on the specifics of the comparison.”
• Do alien plant species profit more from high resource supply than natives? A trait‐based analysis (2013, background): “This is in line with Leishman et al. (2007, 2010), suggesting that successful alien species have the same resource use efficiency as co-occurring natives, and only local conditions (such as ecological interactions and disturbance regimes) will determine the level of differentiation between groups.”
• Superior performance and nutrient-use efficiency of invasive plants over non-invasive congeners in a resource-limited environment (2011, background): “From a study of 122 invasive and native species in eastern Australia, Leishman et al. (2010) concluded that invasives did not have fundamentally different carbon capture strategies from natives, but had higher values for traits like photosynthetic rate and nitrogen content that promoted their capaci”
