    <title language="eng">Plant Community Assembly in Invaded Recipient Californian Grasslands and Putative Donor Grasslands in Spain</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The introduction of exotic species to new regions offers opportunities to test fundamental questions  in  ecology,  such  as  the  context-dependency  of  community  structure  and  assembly. Annual grasslands provide a model system of a major unidirectional introduction of plant species from  Europe  to  North  America.  We  compared  the  community  structure  of  grasslands  in  two Mediterranean regions by  surveying plots in Spain and  in California with similar  environmental and management conditions. All species found in Spanish grasslands were native to Spain, and over half of them (74 of 139 species) are known to have colonized California. In contrast, in California, over half of the species (52 of 95 species) were exotic species, all of them native to Spain. Nineteen species were found in multiple plots in both regions (i.e., shared species). The abundance of shared species  in  California  was  either similar  to  (13  species)  or greater  than  (6  species) in  Spain.  In California,  plants  considered  pests  were  more  likely  than  non-pest  species  to  have  higher abundance. Co-occurring shared species tended to maintain their relative abundance in native and introduced communities, which indicates that pools of exotic species might assemble similarly at home and  away. These findings provide  interesting insights  into community  assembly in novel ecosystems. They also highlight an example of startling global and local floristic homogenization.</abstract>
