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).”
Invasive plant species are locally adapted just as frequently and at least as strongly as native plant species (2016, background): “…promoting invasiveness, one would ideally compare plasticities between invasive and non- invasive alien species in their native range. van Kleunen et al. (2011) compared shade responses between invasive and non-invasive alien species in their native European range, and did not find any…”
