Invasion success in a marginal habitat: an experimental test of competitive ability and drought tolerance in Chromolaena odorata.

Climatic niche models based on native-range climatic data accurately predict invasive-range distributions in the majority of species. However, these models often do not account for ecological and evolutionary processes, which limit the ability to predict future range expansion. This might be particu...
