文摘

We studied defensive traits of invasive and native Eupatorium plants. Simulated herbivore treatments were conducted to test tolerance. Generalists performance and leaf traits were analyzed to test resistance. Invader displayed a higher tolerance and resistance than its two congeners. Biocontrol of E. adenophorum in China could not be succeed under current damage levels.
