When alien species are introduced to new ranges, climate or trait mismatches may initially constrain their population growth. However, inter‐ and intraspecific selection in the new environment should cause population growth rates to increase with residence time. Using a species‐for‐time approach, we test whether with increasing residence time (a) negative effects of climatic mismatches between the species’ new and native range on population growth weaken, and (b) functional traits converge towards values that maximize population growth in the new range.

外来植物的种间和种内选择：种群生长，功能性状和气候响应如何随停留时间变化

当将外来物种引入新的范围时，气候或性状失配可能最初会限制其种群增长。但是，在新环境中进行种间和种内选择会导致种群增长率随居住时间的增加而增加。我们使用“时间物种”方法测试随着居住时间的增加（a）该物种的新物种和原生物种之间的气候失配对人口增长的负面影响是否减弱，以及（b）功能性状趋向于使人口增长最大化的价值在新范围内。
