• Early bird catches the worm: germination as a critical step in plant invasion (2016, background): “…patterns are consistent with the lower degree of variability in post-germination environmental conditions experienced by non-native populations, for which the temperature range during the growing season is lower than in the native range, as is the risk of drought (Erfmeier and Bruelheide 2005).”
• Germination, Postgermination Adaptation, and Species Ecological Ranges (2010, background): “Sometimes, the introduced populations have a wider range of conditions in which its seeds can germinate or they germinate faster (Blair & Wolfe 2004, Cervera & Parra-Tabla 2009, Erfmeier & Bruelheide 2005, Lortie et al. 2009).”
• Increased fitness and plasticity of an invasive species in its introduced range: a study using Senecio pterophorus (2008, background): “Many studies have demonstrated that plants undergo a genetic shift towards larger size in their introduced range (Crawley 1987; Blossey & Nötzold 1995; Siemann & Rogers 2001; Leger & Rice 2003; Erfmeier & Bruelheide 2005; Stastny et al .”
• An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “Such experiments will allow to distinguish if differences between ranges are caused by phenotypic responses towards different environmental conditions or by genetic changes (Leger and Rice 2003, Kawecki and Ebert 2004, Erfmeier and Bruelheide 2005, van Kleunen et al. 2010).”
• Differences in morphological and physiological traits between native and invasive populations of Sapium sebiferum (2007, background): “…common garden studies have concentrated on variation in morphological and physiological traits between native and invasive populations of exotic plants (Bastlová & Kvêt 2002; DeWalt, Denslow & Hamrick 2004; Erfmeier & Bruelheide 2004, 2005; Buschmann, Edwards & Dietz 2005; Güsewell et al. 2006).”
• Increased competitive ability and herbivory tolerance in the invasive plant Sapium sebiferum (2008, background): “According to the EICA hypothesis, natural selection will favor fast-growing traits of invasive plants as a response to low levels of herbivory, which eventually leads to genetic shifts in growth traits between native and invasive populations (Bastlová and Květ 2002; Erfmeier and Bruelheide 2005; Güs”
