Although evolution has been often seen as a gradual process through a Darwinian lens, far
more rapid evolutionary change has been observed in recent times. Recent examples …

Carpobrotus edulis, formerly known as Mesembryanthemum edule L, belongs to the
Aizoaceae family of plants. It is a facultative halophytic invasive medicinal and edible …

Clonal plants play key roles in maintaining community productivity and stability in many
ecosystems. Connected individuals (ramets) of clonal plants can translocate and share, for …

This report synthesizes all aspects of the taxonomy, distribution, history of introduction and
spread, ecological constrains (including preferred climate, substratum and habitats) …

Physiological integration between connected ramets can increase the performance of clonal
plants when ramets experience contrasting levels of resource availabilities in …

Coastal dune ecosystems are highly threatened, and one of the strongest pressures is
invasive alien plants (IAPs). Mitigating the negative effects of IAPs requires development of …

Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, however, little is known about the different roles
of clonal integration effects between invasive and native plants. Here, we hypothesize that …

Why some species become invasive while others do not is a central research request in
biological invasions. Clonality has been suggested as an attribute that could contribute to …

Many of the most invasive plant species in the world can propagate clonally, suggesting
clonality offers advantages that facilitate invasion. Gaining insights into the clonal growth …

• Premise of the study: Clonality has been proposed as an important mechanism favoring
plant invasions, but few studies have been conducted to determine the role of clonal traits on …
