Although the chemical warfare between invasive and native species has become a central problem in invasion biology, the molecular mechanisms by which bioactive metabolites from invasive pests influence local communities remain poorly characterized. This study demonstrates that the alkaloid caulerpin (CAU)-a bioactive component of the green alga <i>Caulerpa cylindracea</i> that has invaded the entire Mediterranean basin-is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).
