Similarity of introduced plant species to native ones facilitates naturalization, but differences enhance invasion success
Plant functional traits may help distinguish introduced species that will become invasive from those that do not. Here, Divíšek et al. show that functional profiles of naturalized plant species are similar to natives, while those of invasive plant species exist at the edge of the functional trait sp...
