Successful alien species may experience a period of quiescence, known as the lag phase, before becoming invasive and widespread. The existence lags introduces severe uncertainty in risk analyses aliens present state is poor predictor future distributions, invasion success impact. Predicting species' ability to invade pose negative impacts requires quantitative understanding commonality magnitude lags, environmental factors mechanisms likely terminate lag. Using herbarium climate data, we...
Abstract Aim If we are able to determine the geographic origin of an invasion, as well its known area introduction, can better appreciate innate environmental tolerance a species and strength selection for adaptation that colonizing populations have undergone. It also enables us maximize success searches effective biological control agents. We determined number successful colonization events occurred throughout world two Cakile compared climates from which they originated, in established...
