Dear colleagues, could anyone help me to answer the question why therophytes from the family Asteraceaeare are good at prospering? Why Asteraceae is so large family with many alien invasive species? What is your opinion? Could you give me some references please? Thanks so much.
Please see the following papers:

But there are still so many unanswered aspects!!

This kind of question is a bit tricky as it tends to answer itself. Something is successful because it is successful. Therefore any aspect of it is seen to be successful as well. Success 'explains' success.
