| rapid plant evolution in the presence of an introduced species alters community composition. | because introduced species may strongly interact with native species and thus affect their fitness, it is important to examine how these interactions can cascade to have ecological and evolutionary consequences for whole communities. here, we examine the interactions among introduced rocky mountain elk, cervus canadensis nelsoni, a common native plant, solidago velutina, and the diverse plant-associated community of arthropods. while introduced species are recognized as one of the biggest threat ... | 2015 | 26062439 |
