Now published in @newphyt.bsky.social, @1pantunes.bsky.social and I review evidence for the "Novel Weapons Hypothesis" and the role of allelopathy during invasion. Bottom line: there is very good reason to be skeptical.

As a bird feeder, I have many sunflower seed shells. I read that these shells demonstrate allelopathy so inhibit the growth of other plants. Rather than composting them, they can be used where you want to inhibit weeds from growing. #composting #gardening www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/i...
What To Do With Sunflower Hulls – Adding Sunflower Hulls In Compost
For many home growers, the garden simply would not be complete without the addition of sunflowers. Sunflower seeds, when used in bird feeders, also attract a wide array of wildlife. But what can you d...

Oxeye daisies produce allelopathic chemicals that suppress nearby plant growth, giving them an edge in colonising bare or disturbed ground. Each plant can host over 80 insect species. In folklore, they symbolised patience and transformation.

and of course inevitably brought up 'allelopathy' (qv) which is the not-wholly-proven quality that some plants exude chemicals that deter other kinds of plants from growing nearby (like black walnuts and sunflowers). Apart from a short but bitter argument (she won) over how to pronounce 'allele,'

TIL that the ecological term "allelopathy" is derived from Greek words that would translate to "mutual harm" and of course my brain immediately went "SOCIAL MEDIA!!" so I share this thought with you

Thank you, I hadn't heard that about those two, and I probably would have planted them at some point. Just realizing that allelopathy could be useful in some spots which have been difficult to keep under control 😊

Those smell too good. Takes over, though. Ruins meadow habitat with its allelopathy & enriching the soil too much which just favors other invasive woodies or trees in general rather than providing the sustenance to pollinators that diverse open landscapes can. Yeah, we won't talk about the smell :)

Oldest living being, genetically:
Cunning Patience Before the Glacier, an uplifted Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, Glaci is technically a cutting-clone fork of their primary body, who was killed in the Allelopathy Wars.

It would be interesting to learn more- I expect in native environs, most plants tend to have a crowd of friends they like to hang out with, and adapt to the allelopathy. One just needs to figure out which plants play nicely together in a native garden. No plans to recreate the Balkans though!

Hello Prof. Robert Colautti,
I finally found the time to finish reading your recently published paper, “Direct and indirect fitness effects of plant metabolites, and genetic constraints, limit evolution of allelopathy in an invading plant”, and I just have to say it really left me thinking.

Discovered word of the day: Allelopathy.
Not a medical scam, but the study of how plants can impede the spread of other species. A-P de Candolle is regarded as the founder of the field.

We propose a simple eco-evolutionary model showing that for allelopathy to be adaptive:
✅ It must suppress competitors
✅ Increase invader fitness
✅ Have low autotoxicity
✅ Be cost-effective energetically
✅ It must suppress competitors
✅ Increase invader fitness
✅ Have low autotoxicity

With plants there's allelopathy (and related concepts). Where pure stands of a species or an assemblage ("superbloom" areas) isn't happenstance but the result of thousands of years of habitat modification via secondary chemicals, physical modification, competition. Disturb it & it doesn't come back.

Natural sustainability practices, cover crops that provide nitrogination or allelopathy. Soil conditioning cover crops where viable to replace mechanical ripping to break/prevent hardpan. It's a long slow fight of education and hopefully legislation. But deleting half to toolkit isn't part of that.
