Abstract Background and Aims Many notorious alien invasive plants are clonal, but little is
known about some roles and aspects of clonal integration. Here, the hypothesis is tested …

Medal (note the leaf scroll at the top) received by W. Adams at the Missouri State Science
Fair. The backdrop of leaves includes those from (beginning in the upper left, moving …

Clonal growth seems to be a common trait for many of the most aggressive invasive plant
species. However, little research has been conducted to determine the role of clonality in the …

Clonal plants benefit from the ability to translocate resources among interconnected ramets
to colonize heterogeneous habitats. Clonal integration affects the resource level and …

Summary 1 Unlike non‐clonal plants, clonal plants can develop a division of labour in which
connected ramets specialize to acquire different, locally abundant resources. This occurs as …

Background and Aims Clonal fragments of the rhizomatous dwarf bamboo Sasa palmata,
which widely predominates in temperate regions of Japan, were grown under …

Background and Aims In clonal plants, internode connections allow translocation of
photosynthates, water, nutrients and other substances among ramets. Clonal plants form …

Abstract Background and Aims One of the most striking attributes of clonal plants is their
capacity for physiological integration, which enables movement of essential resources …

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 …

Modulation of foliar photosynthesis rate during short-term changes in abiotic environment as
well as longer-term acclimation of photosynthetic capacity in response to abiotic factors or …
