Abstract Plants and herbivorous insects can each be dramatically affected by temperature. Climate warming may impact plant invasion success directly but also indirectly through changes in their natural enemies. To date, however, there are no tests of how climate shifts the interactions among invasive plants enemies to affect success. Field surveys covering full latitudinal range A lternanthera philoxeroides China showed that a beetle introduced for biocontrol was rare or absent at higher...
Climate change may shift interactions of invasive plants, herbivorous insects and native potentially affecting biological control efficacy non-target effects on species. Here, we show how climate warming affects impacts a multivoltine introduced biocontrol beetle the plant Alternanthera sessilis in China. In field surveys across latitudinal gradient covering their full distributions, found damage A. increased with rising temperature life history changed from annual to perennial. Experiments...
Soil biota community structure can change with latitude, but the effects of changes on native plants, invasive and their herbivores remain unclear. Here, we examined latitudinal variation in soil associated plant Alternanthera philoxeroides its congener A. sessilis, these plants beetle Agasicles hygrophila. We characterized bacterial fungal communities root-knot nematodes rhizospheres collected from 22 °N to 36.6 China. changed latitude as a function climate properties. Root-knot nematode...
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting how plant‐associated microbes respond to environmental changes is of key importance understanding future plant performance. Yet, aboveground belowground microbial communities, which may interactively affect performance, simultaneously changes, remains unknown. To fill this gap, we monitored temporal phyllosphere rhizosphere bacterial communities three perennial species at 18 sites spanning a 1500 m elevational gradient. We showed distinct trajectories...
The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive alien species that can damage cotton plants and cause huge economic losses in the industry. Currently, A. mainly distributed American continent. However, few studies have indicated distribution modification of its suitable global habitats after undergoing climate change. Based on 339 records eight bioclimatic variables, we used optimal MaxEnt model to predict potential under current (1970–2000) future...
<title>Abstract</title> Soil legacy effects of plants (i.e., plant-soil feedback, PSF) are key drivers the maintenance biodiversity and alien plant invasion. While most research (88.9% 460 experiments) has focused on PSFs single-species, we showed that 4.6 (on average) herbaceous species co-occur likely to interact belowground collectively shaping interactions across ~2000 0.25 m2 plots (only 0.03% hosting a single species) in field survey communities East China. However, can species-level...
Summary Climate warming may affect biological invasions by altering competition between native and non‐native species, but these effects depend on biotic interactions. In field surveys at 33 sites in China along a latitudinal temperature gradient from 21°N to 30.5°N 2‐yr experiment 30.5°N, we tested the role of biocontrol beetle Agasicles hygrophila mediating invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides sessilis . surveys, populations were perennial below 25.8°N only annual found above 26.5°N...
Summary Functional differences between native and exotic species, estimated when species are grown alone or in mixtures, often used to predict the invasion risk of species. However, it remains elusive whether functional by two methods their ability invasiveness (e.g. high abundance) consistent. We compiled data from common garden experiments, which specific leaf area, height, aboveground biomass 64 invasive China were individually (pot) mixtures (field). Exotic accumulated higher than...
Aboveground herbivores and soil biota profoundly affect plant invasions. However, how they interactively invasions through plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) remains unclear. To explore herbivory by the introduced beetle Agasicles hygrophila affects Alternanthera philoxeroides in China, we integrated multiyear field surveys a 2-yr PSF experiment, which examined PSFs on performance of native invasive plants beetles. Despite increased from A. hygrophila, dominance over co-occurring congeneric...
The impact of plant invaders on the fitness native insects has received increasing attention, but it remains unclear how that have a taxonomic conservatism in host–plant use respond to novel hosts. In this study, an experimental approach was taken issue by comparing preference and performance beetle, Cassida piperata Hope, hosts Chenopodium album Alternanthera sessilis , non‐coevolved exotic spinosus philoxeroides varying invasion history with choice cross‐rearing experiments. host...
Abstract Soil microbes can profoundly affect species coexistence and alien plant invasion via plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs). Theoretically, plants modify soil biotic communities (e.g. fungal bacterial communities) sequentially rhizo‐inputs in the growing season litter decomposition non‐growing season, this way performance of individuals that establish same following season. However, how sequential rhizosphere inputs these microbial legacies feedback to subsequent remains unclear. Here, we...
The strengths of biotic interactions such as herbivory are expected to decrease with increasing latitude for native species. To what extent this applies invasive species and the consequences variation competition among remain unexplored. Here, herbivore impacts on plant Alternanthera philoxeroides its congener A. sessilis were estimated across latitudes in China.An common garden experiment spanning ten latitudinal degrees was conducted test how sessilis, between them change latitude. In...
Plant invasions can change soil microbial communities and affect subsequent directly or indirectly via foliar herbivory. It has been proposed that invaders promote uniform biotic displace diverse, spatially variable (the homogenization hypothesis), but this not experimentally tested for communities, so the underlying mechanisms dynamics are unclear. Here, we compared density-dependent impacts of invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides its native congener A. sessilis on fungal their...
The alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is susceptible to global climate change and human activities, subject nutrient addition such as nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) enhance soil available nutrients ecosystem productivity. Soil bacterial community partly drivers effects of additions processes, whereas factors influencing N P in meadows are not well documented. We conducted a experiment an Plateau with four treatments: untreated control (CK), (N), (P), NP (NP). employed...
