Niche dynamics of alien plant species in Mediterranean Europe

2024-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aim: </h4> Humans have spread plants globally for millennia, inadvertently causing ecological disruptions. However, biological invasions also provide a unique opportunity to study the process of niche dynamics, through which species adapt their niche when confronted with novel environments. Focusing on the Mediterranean Basin, we assessed 1) which traits favour niche dynamics, and 2) whether niche conservatism...
