Title
Novel weapons testing: are invasive plants more chemically defended than native plants?
Authors
Lind, Eric M; Parker, John D
Abstract
Exotic species have been hypothesized to successfully invade new habitats by virtue of possessing novel biochemistry that repels native enemies. Despite the pivotal long-term consequences of invasion for native food-webs, to date there are no experimental studies examining directly whether exotic plants are any more or less biochemically deterrent than native plants to native herbivores.
