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 …

Improving ecological connectivity (EC) within landscapes by establishing corridors and
ecological networks has been proposed to counteract the negative effects of habitat …

Competitive interactions drive critical ecological processes in plant communities. Yet, how
competitive interactions are influenced by polyploidy that has a widespread incidence in …

Allelopathy plays an important role in the successful invasion of alien invasive plants.
Phenolic compounds are one of the primary classes of secondary metabolites with strong …

Dominant plant species are locally abundant and have large impacts on ecological
communities via a variety of mechanisms. However, few studies have evaluated the …

Autopolyploidization has driven the successful invasion of Solidago canadensis in East
Asia. However, it was believed that only diploid S. canadensis invaded Europe, whereas …

Angiosperms are believed to have emerged initially in the tropics and expanded their
distribution range poleward through diverse mechanisms, for example polyploidization …

Few studies tried to explore the mitigation effect and underlying mechanisms of biochar and
their complex for negative allelopathy from invasive plants, which may provide a new way in …

Solidago canadensis, originating from the temperate region of North America, has expanded
southward to subtropical regions through polyploidization. Here we investigated whether …

Abstract Background and Aims Competition with sympatric diploid progenitor (s) hinders the
persistence of polyploids. The hypothesis that polyploids escape from competition through …
