Using a phylogenetic supertree of all grass species in California, it is shown that highly invasive grass species are, on average, significantly less related to native grasses than are introduced but noninvasive grasses.
Evolutionary responses of natives to introduced species: what do introductions tell us about natural communities?
- S. Strauss, J. Lau, Scott P Carroll
- Environmental ScienceEcology Letters
- 1 March 2006
The evidence for evolutionary responses of native species to novel community members is reviewed and how the effects of introduced species may differ from those caused by natural range expansions ofnative species is discussed.
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Multispecies Plant-Animal Interactions
- S. Strauss, R. Irwin
- Biology
- 22 November 2004
Here, the evidence for criteria identified to detect community-based, diffuse coevolution is reviewed and the evidence that multispecies interactions have demographic consequences for populations, as well as evolutionary consequences is reviewed.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning

Species diversity is a major determinant of ecosystem productivity, stability, invasibility, and nutrient dynamics. Hundreds of studies spanning terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems show that…
Foliar Herbivory Affects Floral Characters and Plant Attractiveness to Pollinators: Implications for Male and Female Plant Fitness
- S. Strauss, J. Conner, S. Rush
- Environmental ScienceAmerican Naturalist
- 1 June 1996
The impact of herbivory on the fitness of hermaphroditic plants requires knowledge of both male and female reproductive success, and how plants have evolved to respond to damage from herbivores in allocation patterns to floral resources may be influenced or constrained by floral adaptations.
COSTS OF INDUCED RESPONSES AND TOLERANCE TO HERBIVORY IN MALE AND FEMALE FITNESS COMPONENTS OF WILD RADISH

- 1 August 1999
It is suggested that consideration of alternative plant defense strategies and multiple costs will result in a broader understanding of the evolutionary ecology of plant defense.
FLORAL CHARACTERS LINK HERBIVORES, POLLINATORS, AND PLANT FITNESS
- S. Strauss
- Environmental Science
- 1 September 1997
This contribution focuses primarily on new ideas and approaches to determining how herbivores and pollinators together shape plant characters, and understudied, indirect ways in which total plant fitness is affected by leaf herbivory.
Mutual Feedbacks Maintain Both Genetic and Species Diversity in a Plant Community
- Richard A. Lankau, S. Strauss
- Environmental Science, BiologyScience
- 14 September 2007
This work has combined observations of natural populations, quantitative genetics, and field experiments to show that genetic variation in the concentration of an allelopathic secondary compound in Brassica nigra is necessary for the coexistence of B. nigra and its competitor species.
Evolutionary principles and their practical application

- 1 March 2011
This work explores several key evolutionary principles under four main themes: variation, selection, connectivity, and eco‐evolutionary dynamics and illustrates their use in addressing applied problems.
