Local adaptation of invasive species occurs in clonal plants too
In transplant experiments, closely-related sexual and asexual species both showed evidence of local adaptation.

Altitudinal differentiation in water-repellency of bud-wrapping leaves
In rosette-forming plants, rosette leaves locate near the ground, and their upper surfaces are exposed, whereas the opposite surfaces are more exposed for leaves on flowering stems.
Thermal acclimation of photosynthesis and dark respiration in white spruce
The results showed moderate thermal acclimation of respiration and no evidence for thermal acclimation of photosynthesis or local genetic adaptation for traits related to thermal acclimation.
