Geographic structure, genetic diversity and source tracking of Spartina alterniflora (2007, background): “This prompted Turesson (1922) to characterize different plant forms as ecotypes, a hypothesis that later studies, such as the work by Proffitt et al. (2003) on genotype by environment interactions, support.”
Unexpectedly High Clonal Diversity of Two Salt Marsh Perennials Across a Severe Environmental Gradient (2004, unknown): “In addition, there are reports that seedling establishment can be the predominant form of recruitment into bare substrates for S. alterniflora invasions in the western US (Daehler 1998; Davis et al. 2004) and recolonization along the Gulf Coast US (Proffitt et al. 2003; McKee et al. 20043 ).”
Spartina alterniflora genotype influences facilitation and suppression of high marsh species colonizing an early successional salt marsh (2005, background): “200-ha mudflat located north of West Cove in the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, south-western Louisiana, USA.”
The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “Connectivity between populations of saltmarsh plants themselves is achieved via floating propagules of either vegetative (roots and rhizomes, e.g., Proffitt et al. 2003, Travis et al. 2004) or sexual origin (seeds and fruits, e.g., Huiskes et al. 1995).”
