Consumer Pressure, Seed versus Safe-Site Limitation, and Plant Population Dynamics by Maron, John L., Gardner, Shea N.

“…Plants often suffer reductions in fecundity due to insect herbivory. Whether this loss of seeds has population-level consequences is much debated and often…”

A native nitrogen-fixing shrub facilitates weed invasion by Maron, J.L, Connors, P.G. (California Univ., Bodega Bay (USA). Bodega Marine Lab.)

“…Invasions by exotic weedy plants frequently occur in highly disturbed or otherwise anthropogenically altered habitats. Here we present evidence that, within…”
