Many emerging invasive weeds display rapid adaptation against different stressful
environments compared to their natives. Rapid adaptation and dispersal habits helped …

Evolutionary processes greatly impact the outcomes of biological invasions. An extensive
body of research suggests that invasive populations often undergo phenotypic and …

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 …

Local adaptation and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity may facilitate biological
invasions. Both processes can enhance germination and seedling recruitment, which are …

The stability of species and provenance performance across diverse environments is a
major issue in restoration, particularly for assisted migration and climate‐adjusted …

An introduction to a novel habitat represents a challenge to plants because they likely would
face new interactions and possibly different physical context. When plant populations arrive …

The ability of non-native plant species to tolerate water scarcity and high temperatures,
especially during the early stages of development, may influence their invasive potential …

Hybridization creates unique allele combinations which can facilitate the evolution of
invasiveness. Frequent interspecific hybridization between the Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila …

Increasing air temperature and atmospheric CO 2 levels may affect the distribution of
invasive species. Whereas there is wide knowledge on the effect of global change on …

Elm trees (Ulmus sp.) occurring naturally or planted as ornamentals in Europe are
susceptible to powdery mildew (PM). In the past, the causal agent of the powdery mildew …
