Phenotypic plasticity to nutrient availability in a wetland invasive species

Are triploid Butomus umbellatus plants more plastic to nutrient availability than diploid plants and does this make them more invasive?

Plants can become less uniform by duplicating their genome

Though the experiment was limited to two genotypes of a single species, these findings support the idea that whole genome duplication can indeed increase plasticity.

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.

Disentangling domestication and environmental effects on plant-herbivore interactions

How has domestication affected herbivory and anti-herbivore defenses of chaya, a plant crop grown for it’s leaves in the Yucatan pensula?

Non-native plant species climb mountains in a different way to native species

One way invasive species spread through an area is by harnessing variability in traits, but this doesn’t match observations of invasive species on the slopes of Mount Teide.
