Phylogenetic and trait similarity to a native species predict herbivory on non-native oaks
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - PNAS (27-10-2009)“…Introduced plants tend to experience less herbivory than natives, although herbivore loads vary widely. Herbivores may switch hosts onto an introduced plant…”
