Herbivores, microbial mutualists, and soil nutrients can affect plant survival, growth, and reproduction, demographic parameters that are essential to plant restoration. In this study we ask: 1) whether native plants that form early associations with

Mediterranean-type climate California experiences both frequent wildfires and periodic drought. Climate change models predict increased severity of drought, and wildfire size and frequency, leading to concern about the ability of some plant species t

Although rarely examined, apparent competition, whereby exotic plants increase consumer pressure on native plants, could play a significant role in affecting native plant establishment in invaded habitats. Moreover, although terrestrial consumer comm

Native consumers and seed limitation may be particularly important in the restoration of native plants where they have been displaced by exotic plants. We used experimental exclosures and seed additions to examine the role of native mammalian consume

Grasslands dominated by exotic annual grasses have replaced native perennial vegetation types in vast areas of California. Prescribed spring fires can cause a temporary replacement of exotic annual grasses by native and nonnative forbs, but generally

Biological invasions can change ecosystem function, have tremendous economic costs, and impact human health; understanding the forces that cause and maintain biological invasions is thus of immediate importance. A mechanism by which exotic plants mig

The Hawaiian silversword alliance consists of the three genera Dubautia, Argyroxiphium, and Wilkesia, and is a classic example of adaptive radiation in an insular setting. Genetic variation and interspecific genetic differentiation based on ten enzym
