An Experimental Investigation of Life History Variation in Native and Introduced Populations of <em>Silene latifolia</em>
… reproduction. Introduced plants should exhibit increased competitive ability compared to native plants. I will determine if introduced plants show increased competitive ability compared to natives.</p>

NO SIMPLE TRADEOFFS: CENTAUREA PLANTS FROM AMERICA ARE BETTER COMPETITORS AND DEFENDERS THAN PLANTS FROM THE NATIVE RANGE
… mechanism to tradeoff-driven evolution of increased competitive ability in invasive plants by comparing growth, reproduction, competitive effect and response, and defense capabilities of invasive North American populations of Centaurea maculosa to populations in Europe, where the species is …

Seaweed Invasions and Novel Chemical Defences
… this will provide the introduced species with a competitive advantage over native plants. Furthermore, it has been suggested that introduced species with chemical defences that are novel to native herbivores in the new range are most likely to become successful invaders. The scope of this thesis …

Specificity in the ecology and evolution of plant defense against herbivores: Identity and history
… allocation away from costly defense towards competitive ability. This assumes that plants face a fundamental tradeoff between growth and defense, but we predict that this tradeoff depends on the biotic environment and specificity of plant responses to herbivores. I examined variation in …
