Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, background): “…to colonize environmentally diverse areas, a topic explored for more than three decades (e.g. Marshall & Jain 1968) and attracting increasingly more recent attention (Williams et al. 1995; Sexton et al. 2002; Niinemets et al. 2003; Parker et al. 2003; Peperkorn et al. 2005; Sharma et al. 2005).”
The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence (2004, background): “In the simplest form in one spatial dimension, with p(x,t ) a density function for the population level as a function of spatial location x at time t, f [ p(x,t)] the per capita rate of increase of the population at spatial location x and D a measure of the mean squared displacement of individuals p”
Jack of all trades, master of some? On the role of phenotypic plasticity in plant invasions. (2006, background): “However, it is possible that plasticity is beneficial only in an initial stage of an invasion (see e.g. the conceptual model by Sexton et al. 2002), but selected against at a later stage due to costs of plasticity (van Tienderen 1991; DeWitt et al. 1998).”
The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “Evidence of niche differentiation and local adaptations along latitudinal gradients in introduced species comes from common garden and growth chamber experiments (Weber and Schmid, 1998; Sexton et al., 2002; Kollmann and Bañuellos, 2004).”
Dominance of non-native riparian trees in western USA (2005, background): “ramosissima has a strong positive relation with the mean annual minimum temperature (Figure 3), which is consistent with hypothesized frost sensitivity (Lesica and Miles 2001; Sexton et al. 2002).”
Adaptive versus non‐adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the potential for contemporary adaptation in new environments (2007, background): “This may be especially important in cases where an invading population is comprised of a small number of individuals that have undergone a severe genetic bottleneck, and are dependent on adaptive plasticity to survive during the initial phases of invasion (Sexton et al. 2002; Lambrinos 2004; Dybdahl”
HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “Sexton et al. (2002) argue that phenotypic plasticity is important in the early stages of plant invasions, allowing species to rapidly expand across diverse landscapes.”
Phenotypic and genetic differentiation between native and introduced plant populations (2005, background): “Plastic , ' ' general - purpose geno - types ' ' could have a fitness advantage in founder popu - lations where local adaptation has not occurred yet ( Baker 1974 ; Sexton et al .”
Phenotypic plasticity rather than locally adapted ecotypes allows the invasive alligator weed to colonize a wide range of habitats (2007, unknown): “…role of phenotypic plasticity or local adapted ecotypes in the successful invasion of alien species (Williams and Black 1993; Williams et al. 1995; Lee 2002; Sexton et al. 2002; Yeh and Price 2004), the relative importance of the two strategies in different invaders has not been well understood.”
RAPID EVOLUTION OF AN INVASIVE PLANT (2004, background): “6 E-mail: john.maron@mso.umt.edu viduals appear so robust in recipient communities (Marshall and Jain 1968, Rice and Mack 1991, Sultan and Bazzaz 1993, Williams et al. 1995, Kaufman and Smouse 2001, Novak and Mack 2001, Sexton et al. 2002, Parker et al. 2003).”
Evidence of climatic niche shift during biological invasion. (2007, background): “For instance, growth chambers experiments (e.g. Sexton et al. 2002) underestimate biotic interactions effects and their conclusions are only applicable to the fundamental niche of the species.”
Adaptation to an extraordinary environment by evolution of phenotypic plasticity and genetic assimilation (2009, background): “Populations of invasive species outside their native range usually maintain substantial genetic variance (Sexton et al., 2002; Clements et al., 2004; Gilchrist & Lee, 2007), although in some cases they are genetically depauperate (e.”
