Genomics has revolutionised the study of invasive species, allowing evolutionary biologists
to dissect mechanisms of invasion in unprecedented detail. Botanical research has played …

Reproductive interference between sympatric-related species often causes adverse impacts
on rare species, which increases the risk of local extinction, particularly in small and isolated …

Habitat loss due to climate change may cause the extinction of the clonal species with a
limited distribution range. Thus, determining the genetic diversity required for adaptability by …

A suite of plant traits is thought to make weed populations highly invasive, including
vigorous growth and reproduction, superior competitive ability, and high dispersal ability …

Premise Plants produce an array of floral olfactory and visual cues to attract pollinators,
including volatile organic compounds (VOC), which mediate plant–pollinator interactions …

Premise Intraspecific variation may play a key role in shaping the relationships between
plants and their interactions with soil microbial communities. The soil microbes of individual …

This chapter provides an overview of the invasion genetics of species in the genus Acacia
('wattles'). Population genetic, phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies over the last two …

Premise Hybridization between cross‐compatible species depends on the extent of
competition between alternative mates. Even if stigmatic compatibility allows for …

Biological invasions are accelerating, and invasive species can have large economic
impacts as well as severe consequences for biodiversity. During invasions, species can …

The process of biological invasion is led by the dynamics of a population as a demographic
and evolutionary unit. Spatial structure can affect the population dynamics, and it is worth …
