Biotic Resistance to Non-indigenous Plants: Are Phylogenetically Novel Invaders More Likely to Escape Enemies?

The degree to which biotic interactions influence invasion success may partly depend on the evolutionary relationship between invaders and native species. In particular, since host-use by enemies such as invertebrate herbivores and fungal pathogens tends to be phylogenetically conserved, exotic plan...
