The evolutionary significance of polyploidy
Y Van de Peer, E Mizrachi, K Marchal - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2017 - nature.com
Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Naturalization of introduced plants: ecological drivers of biogeographical patterns
DM Richardson, P Pyšek - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The literature on biological invasions is biased in favour of invasive species–those that
spread and often reach high abundance following introduction by humans. It is, however …
