Superior performance and nutrient-use efficiency of invasive plants over non-invasive congeners in a resource-limited environment (2011, background): “…matched pairs of invasive and native Hawaiian species occurring in low-resource habitats, four invaders had lower LWR, and three invaders had higher RMR, suggesting that invasive species frequently invested more biomass to foraging for soil resources in those environments (Funk 2008).”
Plant phenotypic plasticity in a changing climate. (2010, positive): “Hypotheses about what sort of species will be most plastic also abound in the literature [21 – 26], yet our ability to predict patterns of plasticity in key traits in response to climate change remains limited.”
Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, positive): “…important effects of intraspecific trait variability on community assembly, habitat selection and ecosystem functioning (Callaway, Pennings, &Richards 2003; Boege &Dirzo 2004; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008; Funk 2008; Berg & Ellers 2010; Cornwell & Ackerly 2009; Gross et al. 2009; Thuiller et al. 2009).”
European plants with C4 photosynthesis: geographical and taxonomic distribution and relations to climate parameters (2010, background): “…by guest on 26 July 2018 In general, invasive species often possess high phenotypic plasticity, broadly defined as the ability to alter their morphology and physiology in response to varying environmental conditions, which allows them to occupy a wide range of new environments (Funk, 2008).”
Multispecies comparison reveals that invasive and native plants differ in their traits but not in their plasticity (2011, methodology): “…to make useful predictions, we need to quantify potentially adaptive plastic traits to one resource at a time using a realistic resource gradient (e.g. Poorter 1999; Quero et al. 2006; Sánchez-Gómez, Valladares & Zavala 2006; Funk 2008), despite the limitations of this approach (Hulme 2008).”
Preadapted for invasiveness: do species traits or their plastic response to shading differ between invasive and non‐invasive plant species in their native range? (2011, background): “invasive species when compared to native species (Daehler, 2003; Funk, 2008) or when compared to non-invasive alien species in their introduced range (Grotkopp et al.”
Invasive plants do not display greater phenotypic plasticity than their native or non-invasive counterparts: a meta-analysis (2011, background): “…plasticity, broadly defi ned as the capacity of an organism to modify its phenotypic expression in response to environmental changes (West-Eberhard 2003), could be a mechanism facilitating plant invasion success (Gray 1986, Williams et al. 1995, Daehler 2003, Richards et al. 2006, Funk 2008).”
Responses of common and rare aliens and natives to nutrient availability and fluctuations (2017, background): “So far, empirical studies tested this hypothesis mainly by assessing plastic responses to changes in the means of environmental factors (Leishman & Thomson 2005; Funk 2008; Godoy, Valladares & Castro-D ıez 2011; van Kleunen et al. 2011; Port e et al. 2011; Dawson, Fischer & van Kleunen 2012).”
Using plant functional traits to guide restoration: A case study in California coastal grassland (2011, background): “Highly plastic species might be better able to take advantage of a wide range of conditions (Funk 2008, Berg and Ellers 2010, da Silveira Pontes et al. 2010).”
