Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Nematodes are a crucial component of rhizosphere biodiversity, affecting plant health as the
most abundant and functionally diverse soil animals. Plant-parasitic nematodes are …

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

Aims Soil legacies mediate interactions between native and introduced plants, contributing
to both invasion and biotic resistance to invasion. Given that nitrogen deposition can …

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 …

Premise Increased genome‐material costs of N and P atoms inherent to organisms with
larger genomes have been proposed to limit growth under nutrient scarcities and to promote …

Autopolyploidy is quite common in most clades of eukaryotes. The emergence of sequence‐
based genoty** methods with individual and marker tags now enables confident allele …

Premise Theory predicts that mixed ploidy populations should be short‐lived due to strong
fitness disadvantages for the rare ploidy. However, mixed ploidy populations are common …

Anthropogenic climate change and species invasion are two major threats to biodiversity,
affecting the survival and distribution of many species around the world. Studying the …

Aims Global warming, phosphorus deposition, and biological invasion have become major
environmental problems. Most studies have analyzed the main factors for the success of …
