<b>Assessing the evidence for the performance-defense trade-off in the EICA hypothesis </b><p dir="ltr">Why do some introduced plants become so much more successful away from home? One long-standing idea is that plants that escape their natural enemies abroad can redirect resources from chemical defense into growth and reproduction, giving them greater competitive ability. The idea is known as the “Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA)”, and a recent study has found that a w

Chromosome-scale genome assembly of the North American invasive Asteraceae, <i>Tanacetum vulgare</i> (common tansy)<p dir="ltr">We sequenced and performed a chromosome‑level genome assembly and annotation for a North American invasive <i>Tanacetum vulgare</i> genotype using PacBio HiFi long‑read sequencing and IsoSeq transcript data. The genome was assembled into nine pseudochromosomes with a haploid genome size of approximately 4.8 Gb. This data includes the raw data and annotation files.</p><p dir="ltr">The

<b>Recent establishment of an invasive mosquito and an emerging avian malaria system on Rangitāhua, a remote island</b><p dir="ltr">Island ecosystems are highly vulnerable to invasive vectors and pathogens, yet many lack baseline information needed to detect emerging disease systems. Rangitāhua, approximately 1000 km northeast of mainland Aotearoa New Zealand, has had limited prior mosquito monitoring and no assessment of avian parasites. We conducted an integrated field and molecular study to identify mosquito sp

<b>Seed-borne microbiome relaxes the competition–colonization trade-off in an invasive plant</b><p dir="ltr">Successful invasive plants can achieve high colonization and competitive performance simultaneously, suggesting escape from classical ecological trade-offs. However, the mechanisms underlying this pattern remain poorly understood. Here, we test whether the seed-borne endomicrobiome modulates the competition–colonization trade-off in the globally invasive dandelion (<i>Taraxacum offici

<b>Do plant strigolactones follow macroecological patterns? The seed-borne endomicrobiome shapes two global gradients in an invasive plant </b><p dir="ltr">Strigolactones are rhizosphere-signaling hormones known for roles in mycorrhizal recruitment, abiotic stress tolerance and defense, but their variation across a species' geographic range remains largely unexplored. We tested two competing macroecological predictions using strigolactone concentrations from 42 populations of the globally invasive <i>Taraxacum officinale</i>, comparing p
