U.Taxonstand: An R package for standardizing scientific names of plants and animals

Jian Zhang et al.

Summary: The scientific names of organisms are crucial for biodiversity research and documentation. 'U.Taxonstand' is an R package that can efficiently standardize and harmonize scientific names in plant and animal species lists. Unlike other similar packages, U.Taxonstand can work with any properly formatted taxonomic databases.

Darwin's preadaptation hypothesis and the phylogenetic structure of native and alien regional plant assemblages across North America

Hong Qian et al.

Summary: Studies focusing on relatively small spatial scales have shown that alien plants are more likely to invade phylogenetically clustered communities, and that the introduction of alien plants further increases phylogenetic clustering in the recipient communities. However, whether these patterns hold at a continental scale remains untested. Here, we investigate the phylogenetic structure of native and alien regional assemblages of angiosperms across North America.

Are invasive species a phylogenetically clustered subset of naturalized species in regional floras? A case study for flowering plants in China

Hong Qian et al.

Summary: The study found that invasive species are phylogenetically clustered subsets of naturalized species, and more harmful invasive species show stronger phylogenetic clustering in their naturalized species pools. These findings have significant implications for predicting and controlling invasive species based on phylogenetic relatedness.

Exotic fishes that are phylogenetically close but functionally distant to native fishes are more likely to establish

Meng Xu et al.

Summary: This study used a database on the establishment success and failure of exotic fish species introduced into freshwater lakes to evaluate the effect of similarity on the establishment of exotic fishes. The results showed that exotic-native phylogenetic and functional similarities were the most important factors affecting the establishment of exotic fish species.

Phylogenetic structure of alien and native species in regional plant assemblages across China: Testing niche conservatism hypothesis versus niche convergence hypothesis

Hong Qian et al.

Summary: The introduction of alien species in China's angiosperm assemblages can be influenced by the phylogenetic structure of the native species, while also altering that structure. The richness and phylogenetic structure of alien species show spatial patterns similar to native species, and are correlated with climatic factors. At broader phylogenetic scales, alien species tend to recapitulate the biogeographic patterns of natives, while at narrower scales, this pattern is less clear.

V.PhyloMaker2: An updated and enlarged R package that can generate very large phylogenies for vascular plants

Yi Jin et al.

Summary: V.PhyloMaker2 is an updated and enlarged package for generating phylogenetic trees of vascular plants. It allows users to generate phylogenies based on different botanical nomenclature systems and can handle large species lists. The software provides a fast speed for generating phylogenies. The paper includes an example with a sample species list and an R script to demonstrate the usage of V.PhyloMaker2.

The role of phylogenetic relatedness on alien plant success depends on the stage of invasion

Ali Omer et al.

Summary: This study examines how the relationship between native and alien plants changes the nature of an invasion, finding that the stages, and ultimate success, of an invasion are intrinsically linked to the phylogenetic relationship.

Functional leaf traits indicate phylogenetic signals in forests across an elevational gradient in the central Himalaya

Mayank Krishna et al.

Summary: The study investigates the variation in leaf traits of plant species along an elevational gradient in the central Himalaya and finds that growth forms and elevation play key roles in influencing the ecological performance of plants. Evergreen taxa exhibit niche separation from deciduous taxa, and growth form has a stronger influence on trait variation compared to elevation. Trade-offs are identified between resource conservation and acquisition traits, with differences observed between growth forms and along elevation gradients.

Alien, Naturalized and Invasive Plants in China

Aiying Zhang et al.

Summary: The study looked at the situation of alien, naturalized, and invasive plants in China, finding that species in the Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Poaceae families play a significant role among these three categories, with a majority of invasive species originating from America.

Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range size, and habitat breadth in Europe's alien and native floras

Trevor S. Fristoe et al.

Summary: Understanding the factors driving success for alien species is important for predicting future invasions. Recent advancements in conceptual frameworks suggest that invasive species can be defined by their local abundance, geographic range size, and habitat breadth. By analyzing data from over one million vegetation plots in Europe, researchers found a continuum of invasiveness dimensions ranging from poor invaders to super invaders, with early introduction dates and species from other continents being associated with higher success. Furthermore, unique patterns of success were identified in specific habitats and traits, showing the importance of considering invasiveness within a multidimensional framework.

Are phylogenies resolved at the genus level appropriate for studies on phylogenetic structure of species assemblages?

Hong Qian et al.

Summary: Phylogenies are crucial for studying the impact of evolutionary history on species assembly and ecological patterns. Generating species-level phylogenies from genus-level phylogenies can yield robust results for exploring phylogenetic structure patterns across ecological gradients.
