Selection on herbivory resistance and growth rate in an invasive plant.

The American naturalist - 1 May 2008

Franks Steven J, Pratt Paul D, Dray F Allen, Simms Ellen L

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) hypothesis proposes that invasive species evolve decreased defense and increased competitive ability following natural enemy release. Previous tests of EICA examined the result of evolution by comparing individuals from home and introduced ranges, but no previous study of this hypothesis has examined the process of evolution by analyzing patterns of selection....
