Figure 1. Of the pool of introduced non-native species a large majority
do not establish. Of those that establish a small proportion of these
become invasive and spread in the introduced range. Over time
interactions with novel pathogens in the introduced range can cause the
decline of some invaders. Understanding the traits that may contribute
to pathogen susceptibility is an important goal to estimate the
long-term consequences of plant invasions. Created with BioRender.com
