Ecology and Evolution
of Invasive Maple Tree Species

PhD oral examination
Advisors: Chris Lortie and Sylvain Delzon
Context

Biological invasions: a worldwide phenomenon

Argentine ant in South Africa

Spiny water flea in North America

Cane toad in Australia

Marine invasive species (Moles et al. 2008 FEE)
Context

With important ecological and economic impacts
- Major driver of the decline of biodiversity worldwide
- Cost of control amounts to $120 billion/year in the USA

Gurevitch et al. 2011 Ecol. Lett.
Context

Invasive plants have been well studied

Pysek et al. 2008 Trends Ecol. Evol.
Context

But invasive trees are understudied

Centaurea stoebe

Tamarix spp

Invasive plants NOT trees

Invasive trees

Number of studies (ISI WoS)

1,535

222

Most intensively studied invasive species
(Pysek et al. 2008 Trends. Ecol. Evol.)

I. Population demography

Importance of biogeography to study invasions

Hierro et al. 2005 J. Ecol.
I. Population demography

Acer negundo: higher abundance in its
introduced range

This is not true for Acer platanoides

II. Traits promoting invasiveness

Research on species traits tells us a lot

Interspecific comparisons across resource
availability gradients

Meta-analysis on trait differences between
native and invasive trees

II. Traits promoting invasiveness

Acer negundo: increased plasticity to nutrient

Porté, Lamarque et al. 2011 BMC Ecology
II. Traits promoting invasiveness

Acer negundo: and higher trait values

Porté, Lamarque et al. 2011 BMC Ecology
II. Traits promoting invasiveness

Is it a global pattern?

II. Traits promoting invasiveness

Traits: good determinants of tree invasiveness
