Hybridization and polyploidization are important processes for plant evolution. However,
classification of hybrid or polyploid species has been notoriously difficult because of the …

The term “Geographical parthenogenesis” describes the phenomenon that asexual
organisms usually occupy larger and more northern distribution areas than their sexual …

Aim Although whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is an important speciation force, we still
lack a consensus on the role of niche differentiation in polyploid evolution. In addition, the …

Abstract Background and Aims The Greater Cape Floristic Region is one of the world's
biodiversity hotspots and is considered poor in polyploids. To test this assumption, ploidy …

Lomandra is the largest genus in Asparagaceae subfamily Lomandroideae and possesses
economic, ecological, and ethnobotanical significance in Australia. Lomandra comprises …

In the framework of polyploidization, a widely discussed issue is the possibility of niche shift.
Numerous studies have investigated niche differentiation among cytotypes, with some …

Polyploidization is generally considered to be an important evolutionary driver affecting the
genetic diversity, that can alter the morphology, phenology, physiology or ecology of plants …

Genome size (GS) is an important characteristic that may be helpful in delimitation of taxa,
and multiple studies have shown correlations between intraspecific GS variation and …

Aim: Understanding the spatiotemporal climate niche dynamics of invasive species not only
helps us recognize the trend of change in their niche, but also enables a more accurate …

Spatial segregation of cytotypes reduces the negative effect of frequency-dependent mating
on the fitness of minority cytotype (s) and thus allows its establishment and coexistence with …
