Breeding system and pollination ecology of a potentially invasive alien Clematis vitalba L. in Ireland
(2018)Aims Invasive alien plants can greatly affect native communities and ecosystem processes but only a small fraction of alien plant species become invasive. Barriers to establishment and invasion include reproductive ... -
Direct interactions between invasive plants and native pollinators: evidence, impacts and approaches
(2016)Invasive non-native plants form interactions with native species and have the potential to cause direct and indirect impacts on those species, as well as the functioning of invaded ecosystems. Many entomophilous invasive ... -
Nectar chemistry modulates the impact of an invasive plant on native pollinators
(2016)1. Invasive species are considered a main driver of pollinator declines, yet the direct effects of invasive alien plants on pollinators are poorly understood. 2. Abundant, invasive plant species can ... -
Pollinator selection against toxic nectar as a key facilitator of a plant invasion
(2022)Plant compounds associated with herbivore defence occur widely in floral nectar and can impact pollinator health. We showed previously that Rhododendron ponticum nectar contains grayanotoxin I (GTX I) at concentrations ...
