Phenotypic variation plays an important role in successful plant invasions. The spread of
invasive species over large geographic ranges may be facilitated if plants can match their …

Species can respond to environmental pressures through genetic and epigenetic changes
and through phenotypic plasticity, but few studies have evaluated the relationships between …

Introduced plants provide a unique opportunity to examine how plants respond through
plasticity and adaptation to changing climates. We compared plants of Spartina alterniflora …

This study reports the soil-plant relationships along the intertidal gradient from unvegetated
mudflats to the ecotone between high marshes and coastal dunes. The main objective was …

Aim Tidal wetlands are greatly impacted by climate change, and by the invasion of alien
plant species that are being exposed to salinity changes and longer inundation periods …

Invasive plant environments differ along latitudes and between native and introduced
ranges. In response to herbivory and abiotic stresses that vary with latitudes and between …

Aims Sea level rise and increases in species invasions are impacting estuarine ecosystems,
but physiological tolerances of invasive plants are poorly understood. We investigated the …

Hybridization is a frequent process that leads to relevant evolutionary consequences, but
there is a lack of studies regarding the relationships of the variability of the response of …

Seed germination is critical to the life history of plants, playing an important role in the
successful recruitment, colonization, and even invasion of new individuals within and …

Premise of Study Mechanisms by which invasive species succeed across multiple novel
environmental contexts are poorly understood. Functional traits show promise for identifying …
