Is invasiveness a legacy of evolution? Phylogenetic patterns in the alien flora of Mediterranean islands

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

1. The Mediterranean region has been invaded by a wide range of introduced plant species which differ greatly in their ecology, morphology and human utilization. In order to identify a suite of traits which characterize invasiveness, recent studies have advocated the use of evolutionary relationships to unravel highly confounded influences. 2. This study attempts to identify an evolutionary component to invasivene...
