Phenotypic variation in the introduced range of an invasive species can be modified by
genetic variation, environmental conditions and their interaction, as well as stochastic events …

Abstract Eragrostis curvula (African Lovegrass) is an invasive C4 perennial grass that is
threatening natural ecosystems globally. Native to Africa, this species can tolerate a wide …

Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as a mechanism that facilitates the success of
biological invasions. In order to test the hypothesis of an adaptive role for plasticity in …

Re‐establishment of heritable latitudinal clines in growth‐related traits has been recognised
as evidence for adaptive evolution in invasive plants. However, less information is known …

Genetic diversity is associated with invasion dynamics during establishment and expansion
stages by affecting the viability and adaptive potential of exotics. There have been many …

Epigenetic variation may play an important role in how plants cope with novel environments.
While significant epigenetic differences among plants from contrasting habitats have often …

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be beneficial for species when introduced to a new range,
increasing their proficiency in colonising and expanding into new environments. It has been …

Understanding the interplay between genetic differentiation, ancestral plasticity, and the
evolution of plasticity during adaptation to environmental variation is critical to predict …

Ecological niche models of species occurrence have gained interest in biological control
programs to improve efficiency, reduce risks, and to inform when and how control agents …

Phenotypic plasticity is increasingly recognized as a key element of eco‐evolutionary
dynamics, but it remains challenging to assess because of its multidimensional nature …
