The paper examines genetic differentiation in herbivore resistance traits among native and introduced populations of Japanese knotweed across different regions.

The paper examines phenotypic variation in Reynoutria japonica across native and introduced ranges, finding higher clonality and plasticity in introduced populations compared to native Chinese populations.

The paper quantifies global latitudinal herbivory gradients for native and exotic plants, finding native plants show a decline with latitude while exotic plants do not, mediated by herbivore guilds and climate factors.
