Four research fields that currently interact within invasion ecology were chosen to improve the understanding of factors that control plant invasions, i.e. theoretical invasion ecology, macroecology, community, and evolutionary ecology. Besides pointing out current challenges in invasion ecology, the results support the conclusion that the interplay of invasiveness and invasibility drives plant invasion success. In the studied cases, invasion success depends mainly on time since introduction, vegetation structure and competition, phenotypic plasticity, and propagule pressure.
