Background Biological invasions are a major ecological and socio-economic problem in
many parts of the world. Despite an explosion of research in recent decades, much remains …

Polyploidy is a mutation with profound phenotypic consequences and thus hypothesized to
have transformative effects in plant ecology. This is most often considered in the context of …

Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication, WGD) is an integral feature of eukaryotic evolution
with two main forms typically recognized, autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy. In plants, a …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

• Premise of the study: Polyploidy—the possession of more than two copies of each
chromosome in the nucleus—is common in flowering plants. Polyploid plants can occupy …

Abstract Background and Aims The spatial distribution of cytotypes can provide valuable
insights into evolutionary patterns of polyploid complexes. In a previous study the macro …

Abstract Background and Aims Despite extensive study of polyploidy, its origin, and
ecogeographical differences between polyploids and their diploid progenitors, few studies …

Premise of the Study Successful establishment of neopolyploids, and therefore polyploid
speciation, is thought to be contingent on environmental niche shifts from their progenitors …

Abstract Background and Aims Polyploidization, the doubling of chromosome sets, is
common in angiosperms and has a range of evolutionary consequences. Newly formed …

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 …
