The mulberry hybridization example you gave is a really good example of another way alien plants impact native plants. Red mulberry will likely be impossible to find soon as White mulberry hybridizes with it and essentially crosses back to white mulberry repeatedly making the offspring indistinguishable.
The same is happening with the Native celastrus hybridizing with Oriental Bittersweet in the Northeast. I have good papers about both.
