ABSTRACT Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result higher pollution. Understanding existing between native weed and invasive species is crucial for effective management normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising potential resistance to invasion can help identify suitable plants restoration operations. This review aims investigate adaptations exhibited by non‐native weeds that may affect invasions within environments. Factors such as ecological characteristics, altered soil conditions, potentially confer a competitive advantage relative or are analysed. Moreover, roles biotic interactions competition, mutualistic relationships, allelopathy shaping described. Emphasis given consideration key factor provides insights conservation efforts Additionally, this underscores need further research unravel underlying mechanisms devise targeted strategies. These strategies aim promote mitigate negative effects By delving deeper into these insights, we gain an understanding ecosystems develop valuable species, restore long‐term sustainability.

Re-focusing sampling, design and experimental methods to assess rapid evolution by non-native plant species

Biological Invasions, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26(5), P. 1327 - 1343

Abstract Evolution can occur over contemporary timescales, which may be crucial for the invasive success of non-native plant species. Many studies have shown rapid evolution by comparing native and populations in common gardens. However, our understanding mechanisms underpinning is still incomplete. Here, we identify progress, applications, limitations on plants with respect to sampling, experimental design methods. To encompass broad variation within between ranges, recommend sampling across large-scale environmental gradients. We also suggest careful consideration pitfalls related choice seed families biotic interaction under focus. The latter should chosen a view both treatment corresponding field data estimate population history. Furthermore, exploiting multiple omics approaches address complexity interactions, account non-adaptive molecular demographic history populations. reviewed papers that studied quantified how many these met criteria. anticipate disentangling adaptive drivers among-population increase accuracy research evolution, integrating phenotypic, metabolomic genomic bring opportunities studying complex interactions. illustrate importance large collaborative networks present scientific network iCONNECT (integrative CONyza NEtwork Contemporary Trait evolution), goal motivating similar mechanistic evolution.

Trait evolution during a rapid global weed invasion despite little genetic differentiation

Evolutionary Applications, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 997 - 1011

Published: April 18, 2023

Invasive species often possess a great capacity to adapt novel environments in the form of spatial trait variation, as result varying selection regimes, genetic drift, or plasticity. We explored geographic differentiation several phenotypic traits related plant growth, reproduction, and defense highly invasive
