Resolving Darwin’s naturalization conundrum: a quest for evidence (2010, background): “A number of studies have demonstrated that woody and herbaceous aliens tend to suffer less from herbivores attacks (mostly insects) when they were less related to the native flora (based on phylogenetic or taxonomic information), and this pattern seemed consistent between different bioclimatic conte”
Defying the curse of ignorance: perspectives in insect macroecology and conservation biogeography (2010, background): “Others, such as Malo and Baonza (2002), Sobek et al. (2009) and Brandle et al. (2008) also tested similar pairs of diversity gradients to look for coupled explanations based on extrinsic (climate) and intrinsic (biotic) effects.”
