Enemy release from the effects of generalist granivores can facilitate Bromus tectorum invasion in the Great Basin Desert

Abstract The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) of plant invasion asserts that natural enemies limit populations of invasive plants more strongly in native ranges than in non‐native ranges. Despite considerable empirical attention, few studies have directly tested this idea, especially with respect to g...
