Species type | Number of species | Overall results | Reference |
|
Plants | 79 native-invasive species comparisons | Trend for greater plasticity in invaders but better performance in natives; plasticity favoured better performance in disturbed environments. | [49] |
|
Plants | 5 native-invasive species comparisons | Trend of higher plasticity for invaders, under resource limitation. | [50] |
|
Plants | 10 invasive-ancestral population comparisons | In 6 of 10 cases, invaders were more plastic than their progenitors. | [47] |
|
Plants | 7 native-invasive species comparisons | Species relatedness was a better predictor of plasticity than invasiveness. | [158] |
|
Plants | 75 invasive-native or invasive-noninvasive species comparisons | Invasive species were on average more plastic, but this was not always associated with a fitness benefit. | [54] |
|
Plants | 35 invasive-native or invasive-noninvasive conspecific species pairs | Invasive species were, on average, as plastic as their conspecifics. | [159] |
|
Plants | 211 species with different levels of invasiveness | The most widespread invasive species were also the most plastic, increasing biomass with resource abundance. | [44] |
|
Plants | 12 invasive and 12 native species in shrub community | Invaders on average displayed both robustness to poor environments and increased plasticity under favourable environments. | [160] |
|
Plants | 330 invasive and 959 native flowering plants | On average invaders had shifted their flowering time with climate change while natives had not. | [161] |
|
Insects | 2 invasive and 4 native species | No difference in the extent of plasticity, but natives performed better under cool acclimation and invaders performed better under warm acclimation. | [162] |
|
Vertebrates | ??? | An extensive review on the ways species have coped with urban environments, including behavioural plasticity. | [77] |
|
Birds | 39 successfully and unsuccessfully introduced species | Larger relative brain size associated with invasive success. | [118] |
|
Birds | 69 species, 501 introduction attempts | Larger relative brain size associated with invasive success. | [119] |
|
Birds | 196 species, 646 introduction attempts | Larger relative brain size associated with increased innovation and invasive success. | [120] |
|
Birds | 202 species, 832 introduction attempts | Larger relative brain size and broader ecological niches associated with invasive success. | [122] |
|
Mammals | 100 species, 513 introduction attempts | Relative brain size important predictor of invasive success. | [121] |
