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 …

Mixed-ploidy species harbor a unique form of genomic and phenotypic variation that
influences ecological interactions, facilitates genetic divergence, and offers insights into the …

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 is a common mode of speciation that can have far‐reaching consequences for
plant ecology and evolution. Because polyploidy can induce an array of phenotypic …

Chromosomal duplications and increases in DNA amount have the potential to alter
quantitative plant traits like flower number, plant stature or stomata size. This has been …

Contents Summary 57 I. Introduction 57 II. Impact of WGD on community context of
polyploids: from the ground up 59 III. Predicted mechanisms by which WGD could affect …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the direct consequences of polyploidization
is necessary for assessing the evolutionary significance of this mode of speciation. Previous …

Premise Divergence in functional traits and adaptive responses to environmental change
underlies the ecological advantage of polyploid plants in the wild. While established …

One promising area in understanding the responses of plants to ongoing global climate
change is the adaptative effect of polyploidy. This work examines whether there is a …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The depiction of polyploid speciation as instantaneous implies
that strong prezygotic and postzygotic isolation form as a direct result of whole‐genome …
