Introduced plants of the invasive Solidago gigantea (Asteraceae) are larger and grow denser than conspecifics in the native range (2004, background): “Similar differences have been described for other invasive plant species, e.g. Sapium sebiferum (Siemann & Rogers, 2001) and Lythrum salicaria (Willis & Blossey, 1999; Bastlová-Hanzélyová, 2001).”
Introduction: Population Biology, Evolution, and Control of Invasive Species (2003, background): “Siemann and Rogers (2001) found that an invasive tree species, the Chinese tallow tree ( Sapium sebiferum ), evolved increased competitive ability in their introduced range.”
Changes in light and nitrogen availability under pioneer trees may indirectly facilitate tree invasions of grasslands (2003, background): “Finally, genotypes of Sapium collected locally in Texas, which were used in these experiments, have been shown to have significantly higher growth rates, earlier and greater seed production but lower foliar tannin concentrations than genotypes from its native range in Asia (Siemann & Rogers 2001; 20”
The invasive shrub Buddleja davidii performs better in its introduced range (2007, background): “Previous comparative studies on invasive plants were mostly conducted with herbaceous species (but see, e.g. Siemann & Rogers, 2001; Buckley et al ., 2003; Dewalt et al ., 2004).”
Invasive ecotypes tolerate herbivory more effectively than native ecotypes of the Chinese tallow tree Sapium sebiferum (2004, background): “Sapium loses very small amounts of leaf area to herbivory in the USA (Scheld & Cowles 1981; Siemann & Rogers 2001, 2003a) and its advantage over Correspondence: W. E. Rogers, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, USA (fax +1 713 348 5232; e-mail…”
Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “…1996; Reichard & Hamilton 1997) and such life-history patterns have been found in other exotic invasive trees: for example, geneticmodifications in exotic populations ofSapium sebiferum increased growth and reproduction at the expense of defence and survivorship (Siemann & Rogers 2001, 2003).”
Constraints on the utilisation of the invasive Chinese tallow tree Sapium sebiferum by generalist native herbivores in coastal prairies (2004, background): “If this behavioural constraint is shared by other generalists, it may have allowed Sapium to reduce its investment to defence, increasing its ability to grow and reproduce without suffering the cost of higher herbivore loads (Siemann & Rogers, 2001).”
INCREASED COMPETITIVE ABILITY OF AN INVASIVE TREE MAY BE LIMITED BY AN INVASIVE BEETLE (2003, methodology): “1503 Key words: Adoretus sinicus; biological invasions; Chinese tallow tree; evolution of increased competitive ability; Hawaii, USA; Sapium sebiferum; Texas, USA.”
Rapid Evolutionary Change and the Coexistence of Species (2011, background): “…changes can occur relatively rapidly (tens to hundreds of years); for example, the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) has evolved increased canine size within 100–200 generations of its introduction to islands that lack its larger congeneric competitor (Simberloff et al. 2000).”
Differences in morphological and physiological traits between native and invasive populations of Sapium sebiferum (2007, background): “Results of recent studies on S. sebiferum generally support the EICA hypothesis (Siemann & Rogers 2001, 2003a,b; Rogers & Siemann 2004, 2005; Zou et al. 2006), suggesting that Sapium has evolved to be a faster-growing, less herbivore-resistant plant in response to low herbivore loads in its…”
Resource allocation to defence and growth are driven by different responses to generalist and specialist herbivory in an invasive plant (2010, result): “This matches well with an earlier study that found higher C : N ratios in invasive populations (Siemann & Rogers 2001) since carbohydrates contain much of the carbon in a plant and proteins contain much of the nitrogen in a plant.”
Increased susceptibility to enemies following introduction in the invasive plant Silene latifolia (2004, background): “On the other hand, introduced Sapium sebiferum attained greater size after 14 years of growth compared with native material (Siemann & Rogers 2001).”
Biological invasions drive size increases in marine and estuarine invertebrates (2003, background): “These comparative studies have been accompanied by several common garden experiments, whose aim was to determine if size changes in invading plants had a genetic basis, but whose conclusions were notably conflicting (Blossey & No ¨tzold 1995; Willis et al. 2000; Maron & Vila 2001; Siemann & Rogers ”
Cultivar selection prior to introduction may increase invasiveness: evidence from Ardisia crenata (2006, background): “Several common garden experiments have demonstrated significant genotype differences between the introduced and native range of invasive plant species (Blossey and Notzold 1995; Siemann and Rogers 2001; Wolfe 2002).”
Invasive California poppies (Eschscholzia californica Cham.) grow larger than native individuals under reduced competition (2003, background): “Common garden comparisons of invasive and native plants have been carried out only a handful of times (Pritchard 1960; Blossey & No ¨tzold 1995; Blossey & Kamil 1996; Willis et al. 2000; Siemann & Rogers 2001 ).”
