Abstract
Aim: Many plant species native to Europe have naturalized worldwide. We tested
whether the phylogenetic structure of the species pools of European habitats is related
to the proportion of species from each habitat that has naturalized outside
Europe (habitat’s donor role) and whether the donated species are more phylogenetically
related to each other than expected by chance.
Location: Europe (native range), the rest of the world (invaded range).
Time period: Last c. 100 years.
Major taxa studied: Angiospermae.
Methods: We selected 33 habitats in Europe and analysed their species pools, including
9,636 plant species, of which 2,293 have naturalized outside Europe. We
assessed the phylogenetic structure of each habitat as the difference between the
observed and expected mean pairwise phylogenetic distance (MPD) for (a) the whole
species pool and (b) subgroups of species that have naturalized outside Europe and
those that have not. We used generalized linear models to test for the effects of the
phylogenetic structure and the level of human influence on the habitat’s donor role.
