Phylogenetic Constraint, Absent Life Forms, and Preadapted Alien Plants: A Prescription for Biological Invasions (2003, background): “The clonal growth of Sasa spp. allows the maintenance of culms in low-light areas via resources transported from the more vigorously growing parts of the clone in forest gaps (Saitoh et al. 2002).”
Greater capacity for division of labour in clones of Fragaria chiloensis from patchier habitats (2007, background): “clones is especially likely to increase performance when the ramets experience contrasting levels of resource availability, due either to physical heterogeneity or to competition (Price & Marshall 1999; Oborny et al. 2000; Pennings & Callaway 2000; Saitoh et al. 2002; Roiloa & Retuerto 2005).”
Effects of clonal integration and light availability on the growth and physiology of two invasive herbs (2010, background): “As a result, clonal integration may facilitate the colonization and growth of ramets in habitats with low resource availability or adverse conditions (Saitoh et al. 2002; Chidumayo 2006; Roiloa & Retuerto 2007; Otfinowski & Kenkel 2008), help ramets to survive and recover after abrupt environmental ”
Ecological constraints on the evolution of plasticity in plants (2002, background): “However, it must be remembered that clonal connections may simply permit a plant to explore space that is temporally inhospitable to seedlings or adults; for example, energetic subsidies from well-lit ramets allows dwarf bamboo to explore densely shaded microsites in Japanese forest understories ( S”
Physiological integration increases the survival and growth of the clonal invader Carpobrotus edulis (2010, background): “Integration is especially important to move resources from ramets growing in favourable microhabitats to those growing under more adverse conditions (Hartnett and Bazzaz 1983; Hutchings and Bradbury 1986; Slade and Hutchings 1987; Shumway 1995; Stuefer et al. 1996; Alpert 1999; Saitoh et al. 2002; R”
