The AAAS Vision and Change report (2011) recommends incorporating student research experiences into the biology curriculum at the undergraduate level. This article describes, in detail, how Zea mays (corn) cultivars were used as a model for a hypothe

Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) is a biennial plant that is invasive in woodland areas in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. Garlic mustard has been shown in previous studies to inhibit fungal and microbial growth. It therefore seems

Many biology educators at the undergraduate level are revamping their laboratory curricula to incorporate inquiry-based research experiences so that students can directly participate in the process of science and improve their scientific reasoning sk

Hybridization has been hypothesized to influence invasion through the generation of novel phenotypes and/or increased levels of genetic variance. Based on morphology, hybrids between diffuse knapweed and spotted knapweed, two invasive plants in North

The novel weapons hypothesis states that some invasive weed species owe part of their success as invaders to allelopathy mediated by allelochemicals that are new to the native species. Presumably, no resistance has evolved among the native species to

Hybridization between species has the potential to change invasion dynamics. Field observations suggest that spotted knapweed and diffuse knapweed, two ecologically and economically destructive invasive plants, hybridize in their introduced range. As

Two mechanisms often linked with plant invasions are escape from enemies and hybridization. Classical biological control aims to reverse enemy escape and impose top-down population control. However, hybridization has the potential to alter interactio

Allelopathy can be challenging to demonstrate. Developing rigorous analytical techniques to detect and quantify compound(s) of interest from soil or liquid media lays the foundation for designing ecologically relevant experiments that incorporate can

Biological control of weeds by arthropod herbivores is thought to work by reducing the competitive ability of the weed relative to the surrounding vegetation. However, the assumption that herbivory reduces plant competitive ability has not been teste
