The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “…example, plants can now quickly and affordably be screened for ploidy using flow cytometry (Kron et al., 2007; Suda et al., 2007; Suda and Pyšek, 2010; see Box 1), making comparisons among invasive alien, native and non-invasive taxa possible (Pandit et al., 2006, 2011; Kubešová et al., 2010).”
The Incidence of Polyploidy in Natural Plant Populations: Major Patterns and Evolutionary Processes (2013, methodology): “decreases with rarity (Pandit 2006; Pandit et al. 2011).”
Invasion dynamics of Lantana camara L. (sensu lato) in South Africa (2012, background): “, 1999), seed size (Rejmánek and Richardson, 1996), polyploidy (Pandit et al., 2011; te Beest et al., 2012) and the ease with which a species hybridizes (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck, 2000).”
Hitting the right target: taxonomic challenges for, and of, plant invasions (2013, background): “Similarly, at the interspecific level, polyploids are overrepresented among invasive aliens relative to native or rare species in local floras (Pandit et al. 2011).”
