Senecio pterophorus (Compositae) is a perennial shrub native to eastern South Africa that was introduced into the Western Cape in South Africa and Australia approximately 100 years ago and into Europe (Italy and Spain) more than 25-30 years ago. [...]

Són les plantes invasores més tòxiques que les natives?
/
Castells, Eva (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Farmacologia, de Terapèutica i de Toxicologia)
Les plantes invasores poden modificar la composició, l'estructura i el funcionament dels ecosistemes que colonitzen i sembla que podrien canviar la seva pròpia composició química i toxicitat. Per tal d'esbrinar si es produeixen aquests darrers canvis, el grup d'Ecologia Química i Toxicologia de la UAB ha analitzat la concentració de certes molècules de l'arbust Senecio pterophorus que són tòxiques per a organismes invertebrats i vertebrats en plantes recol·lectades a la seva zona nativa i en tres regions on s'ha convertit en espècie invasora.

Divergence in plant traits and trait plasticity after invasion has been proposed as mechanisms favouring invasion success. Current hypotheses predict a rapid evolution in response to changes in the abiotic conditions in the area of introduction or to differences in the herbivore consumption pressure caused by a decrease in the enemies associated with the area of origin [e.

Diversity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in native and invasive Senecio pterophorus (Asteraceae) : Implications for toxicity

Mulder, Patrick P.J. ;
Pérez Trujillo, Míriam (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Servei de Ressonància Magnètica Nuclear)
Changes in plant chemical defenses after invasion could have consequences on the invaded ecosystems by modifying the interactions between plants and herbivores and facilitating invasion success. However, no comprehensive biogeographical studies have yet determined the phenotypic levels of plant chemical defenses, as consumed by local herbivores, covering large distributional areas of a species.

1. Native herbivores can establish novel interactions with alien plants after invasion. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether these new associations are quantitatively significant compared to the assemblages with native flora under natural conditions. [...]

The Enemy Release (ER) hypothesis predicts an increase in the plant invasive capacity after being released from their associated herbivores or pathogens in their area of origin. Despite the large number of studies on biological invasions addressing this hypothesis, tests evaluating changes in herbivory on native and introduced populations and their effects on plant reproductive potential at a biogeographical level are relatively rare.

Geographical variation in alkaloid production in Conium maculatum populations experiencing differential herbivory by Agonopterix alstroemeriana

Berhow, M.A. ;
Vaughn, S.F. ;
Berenbaum, M.R.
Conium maculatum, a Eurasian weed naturalized in North America, contains high concentrations of piperidine alkaloids, which act as chemical defenses against herbivores. In the United States, C. maculatum was largely free from herbivory until approximately 30 years ago, when it was re-associated via accidental introduction with a monophagous European herbivore, the oecophorid caterpillar Agonopterix alstroemeriana.

Conium maculatum L. (Apiaceae), or poison hemlock, is an invasive plant native to Europe that has become extensively naturalized throughout North America. This species contains piperidine alkaloids, including coniine and -coniceine, that are highly toxic to vertebrates. [...]
