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

Abstract With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the
largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic …

Most diploid organisms have polyploid ancestors. The evolutionary process of
polyploidization is poorly understood but has frequently been conjectured to involve some …

Ferns are the second largest clade of vascular plants with over 10,000 species, yet the
generation of genomic resources for the group has lagged behind other major clades of …

Polyploidy is an important evolutionary force, yet epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA
methylation, that regulate genome‐wide expression of duplicated genes remain largely …

Restoring cytonuclear stoichiometry is necessary after whole‐genome duplication (WGD)
and interspecific/intergeneric hybridization in plants. We investigated this phenomenon in …

Polyploidy is a prominent mechanism of plant speciation and adaptation, yet the mechanistic
understandings of duplicated gene regulation remain elusive. Chromatin structure dynamics …

Allopolyploidization is a frequent evolutionary transition in plants that combines whole-
genome duplication (WGD) and interspecific hybridization. The genome of an allopolyploid …

The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the fine
scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion …

Abstract Background and Aims Allopolyploidization is a widespread phenomenon known to
generate novel phenotypes by merging evolutionarily distinct parental genomes and …
