• THE EVOLUTION OF AN INVASIVE PLANT: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY WITH SILENE LATIFOLIA (2004, background): “While ecological factors have received the bulk of attention from researchers, the role of rapid evolutionary change in biological invasions has been relatively understudied (Baker and Stebbins 1965, Barrett 2000, Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000, Lee 2002, Parker et al. 2003).”
• Ecology and genetics of tree invasions: from recent introductions to Quaternary migrations (2004, background): “These examples illustrate that the presence of a compatible species may promote ‘‘genetic’’ invasions (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck, 2000; Petit, 2004).”
• PLASTICITY AND GENETIC DIVERSITY MAY ALLOW SALTCEDAR TO INVADE COLD CLIMATES IN NORTH AMERICA (2002, background): “Once naturalized, recombination of genetic variation among introduced individuals can provide a range of heritable phenotypes to respond to local selection pressures and produce offspring with higher fitness (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
• Can nutrients alone shift a sedge meadow towards dominance by the invasive Typha × glauca (2002, background): “Ellstrand and Schierenbeck (2000) reviewed 28 invasive hybrids, of which more than 50% involved at least one non-native parent, and 25% were clonal species.”
• Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) as a Biological Model in the Study of Plant Invasions (2004, background): “The hexaploid cytotype is adapted to warmer environments and is mostly restricted to the Iberian Peninsula and Northern Africa (Baldini and Jarvis, 1991), while the diploid form is restricted to Corsica (Kerguélen, 1993).”
• Genetic evidence for hybridization between the native Spartina maritima and the introduced Spartina alterniflora (Poaceae) in South-West France: Spartina × neyrautii re-examined (2003, background): “This has resulted in various ecological and evolutionary consequences including biological invasion and introgressive hybridization and/or speciation, respectively (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
• Biotic interactions and plant invasions. (2006, background): “Additionally, intra- and interspecific hybridization, which is facilitated by species introductions (Ellstrand & Schierenbeck 2000), can influence interactions with enemies (Fritz et al. 1999).”
• Recent emergence and worldwide spread of the red tomato spider mite, Tetranychus evansi: genetic variation and multiple cryptic invasions (2010, background): “…et al. 2000; Sakai et al. 2001), crosses among individuals from distant populations might generate novel genetic combinations leading to new traits which eventually results in increased invasiveness (Allendorf and Lundquist 2003; Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Facon et al. 2006; Lee 2002).”
• Hybridization of invasive Phragmites australis with a native subspecies in North America (2009, background): “…and led to aggressive hybrid forms relative to their parental lineages or has contributed to the extinction of natives through swamping of the gene pool (Rhymer and Simberloff 1996; Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Novak and Mack 2005; Vila et al. 2000; Pooler et al. 2002; Ayres et al. 2008).”
• Genetic diversity of alligator weed in China by RAPD analysis (2003, background): “To an alien species, adaptability such as escaping from its predators (Elton 1958), good competition with its related native species (Holway et al. 1998; Petren and Case 1998), and new features brought by hybridization (Vila and D’Antonio 1998; Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000 ), might temporarily c”
• Ecological Effects of Transgenic Crops and the Escape of Transgenes into Wild Populations (2004, background): “In addition, hybridization has been shown to provide the genetic variation necessary for the evolution of invasiveness in many taxa (Ellstrand & Schierenbeck 2000), and transgressive segregation is common in crop and wild populations (Rieseberg et al. 2003).”
