Do water and soil nutrient scarcities differentially impact the performance of diploid and tetraploid Solidago gigantea (Giant Goldenrod, Asteraceae)?

AM Walczyk, EI Hersch‐Green - Plant Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library

Investigating the effects of whole genome duplication on phenotypic plasticity: implications for the invasion success of giant goldenrod Solidago gigantea

AM Walczyk, EI Hersch‐Green - Oikos, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Polyploidy commonly occurs in invasive species, and phenotypic plasticity (PP, the ability to
