P>1. This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Euonymus europaeus that are relevant to understand its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biologica[...]

P>1. Invasive alien plant species pose a severe threat to native plant communities world-wide, especially on islands. While many studies focus on the direct impact of alien plants on native systems, indirect effects of plant invaders on co-flowe[...]

P>1. Plant defence theory provides a robust framework for understanding interactions between plants and antagonists, and for interpreting broad patterns in the functional-trait composition of plant communities. However, this framework has been b[...]

P>1. The stress-gradient hypothesis predicts an increase in the importance and intensity of positive species interactions towards extreme ends of gradients generated by either physical stress or consumer pressure. However, little attention has b[...]

P>1. We introduce a novel method that analyses environmental filtering of plant species in a geographic and phylogenetic context. By connecting species traits with phylogeny, traits with environment, and environment with geography, this comprehe[...]

P>1. Indirect plant defences are well documented for the above-ground constituents of plants. Although less investigated to date, below-ground defences that mediate multitrophic interactions are equally important. Entomopathogenic nematodes (Ste[...]

P>1. This study examines the effect of ant mutualists on two morphs of the mangrove Conocarpus erectus. 'Silver'C. erectus plants have a dense layer of leaf hairs, or trichomes, while 'green' plants have very few trichomes. Ants are attracted to[...]

P>1. General hypotheses have related nutrient stoichiometry to physiology and structure for tracheophytes across global resource gradients. These hypotheses have not been tested on bryophytes despite their importance in numerous ecosystem proces[...]

P>1. Most studies of tree regeneration are limited to particular environments and may not capture variation in the biotic or abiotic factors that regulate recruitment at larger spatial scales. Critical processes such as competition and facilitat[...]

P>1. Plants express multiple defensive traits, but little is known about the genetic stability and phenotypic plasticity of these traits in nature. To investigate sources of variation and their potential ecological consequences for herbivores, w[...]

P>1. Variation in disease resistance is a widespread phenomenon in wild plant-pathogen associations. Here, we review current literature on natural plant-pathogen associations to determine how diversity in disease resistance is distributed at dif[...]

P>1. Models of local stable coexistence require negative feedbacks, i.e. intraspecific interactions must be more negative than interspecific interactions. However, most competition experiments, often done in the glasshouse, have found evidence f[...]

P>1. Climate change is causing the growing season to expand and many plants are flowering earlier. However we know less about whether other components of reproductive phenology are altered or whether these changes in phenology are adaptive. 2. W[...]

P>1. Plants mediate multiple interactions between below-ground (BG) and above-ground (AG) heterotrophic communities that have no direct physical contact. These interactions can be positive or negative from the perspective of each player, can go [...]

P>1. The long term impacts of historical land use on montane tropical forest tree species composition and structure is unknown. We used old plantation survey maps of 19th century coffee plantations in the Blue and Port Royal Mountains of Jamaica[...]
