There is mounting evidence that reduced genetic diversity in invasive populations is not as
commonplace as expected. Recent studies indicate that high propagule vectors, such as …

Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

The evaluation of alien invasive plants (AIPs) environmental and ecological distribution
patterns can provide important data as well as a theoretical approach for management …

Biological invasions provide opportunities to study evolutionary processes occurring over
contemporary timescales. To explore the speed and repeatability of adaptation, we …

Clements DR & Ditommaso A (2011). Climate change and weed adaptation: can evolution
of invasive plants lead to greater range expansion than forecasted? Weed Research51, 227 …

Although evolution has been often seen as a gradual process through a Darwinian lens, far
more rapid evolutionary change has been observed in recent times. Recent examples …

Phenotypic plasticity is commonly considered as a trait associated with invasiveness in alien
plants because it may enhance the ability of plants to occupy a wide range of environments …

Invasive and endangered species reflect opposite ends of a spectrum of ecological success,
yet they experience many similar eco-evolutionary challenges including demographic …

Aquatic plants (macrophytes) are important components of freshwater ecosystems and serve
numerous purposes that structure aquatic communities. Although macrophytes represent an …

In the past decade, there has been a resurgent interest in whether and how phenotypic
plasticity might impact evolutionary processes. Of fundamental importance is how the …
