Polyploid organisms are common and can be found across the tree of life. A key question is to understand how why these polyploid lineages become established persist in populations, particularly since they predicted have a low probability success. While collection papers this special issue addresses broad questions on evolutionary ecology polyploids, ultimately, studies also highlight myriad ways that we examining what drives success lineages. In paper consider where we've been challenges face, then propose several directions will allow us continue propel field towards our ultimate goal understanding rules govern establishment persistence populations. We conclude developing rule set require combination model systems for which detailed knowledge phylogenetic population genetic history, expanding perspective beyond plants include greater taxonomic breadth, conducting ecologically relevant settings. Additionally, argue future research polyploidy should focus integrating theory empirical research, providing mechanistic linkages between effects whole genome duplication demography, build predictive framework anthropogenic change impact organisms.
