The paper quantifies global shifts in plant functional trait composition due to human introductions, finding convergence toward smaller, more acquisitive, and shorter-lived assemblages.

This study assesses the impact of Colophospermum mopane dominance on biodiversity in South African savannas, finding reduced species richness and community shifts in birds, mammals, and insects.

This study shows non-native species disrupt global plant biogeography by reducing distinct floristic realms and subrealms, with environmental factors remaining key in structuring plant distributions.

This study examines reproductive strategies in Carpobrotus taxa, finding no trade-off between sexual and clonal reproduction, with non-native populations showing higher investment in both.

This study shows that plant communities drive insect diversity in South African savannahs, with climate and disturbances indirectly shaping these patterns through their effects on vegetation.
