- Abstract
- This thesis aims to increase our knowledge on ecological effects of plant invasions, particularly in relation to pollination ecology, herbivory, and native invertebrate and plant communities. Moreover, we aim to provide tools and insights that can be used for risk assessment systems, which have the purpose to reduce the risk of future invasions and their associated impact on the environment. In order to achieve these goals we used a combination of experiments and analyses of existing data.
