Ploidy influences rarity and invasiveness in plants (2011, background): “The link between polyploidy and invasiveness has been suggested in the literature (Hodgson 1987; Soltis & Soltis 2000; Lee 2002), but the association of diploidy with rarity (Lowry & Lester 2006; Pandit 2006) was hitherto unknown.”
Divergent and narrower climatic niches characterize polyploid species of European primroses in Primula sect. Aleuritia (2013, unknown): “base-rich soils), rather than climatic factors, impose direct limits to the distribution of P. scotica (Ritchie, 1955). Owing to the greater availability of such habitats during full- and late-glacial periods, Ritchie (1955) suggested that P.”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “This is frequently speculated to be the case due to higher levels of heterozygosity and genetic diversity (Lowry and Lester, 2006) and may be more pronounced in allopolyploids, where two parental genomes are combined.”
