Geographical variation in vegetative growth and sexual reproduction of the invasive Spartina alterniflora in China (2016, background): “Some of the variation, however, both within sites (Gallagher et al. 1988; Wang et al. 2012) and across latitude (Seliskar et al. 2002; Salgado & Pennings 2005), has a genetic component and persists in a common garden.”
Rhizome growth dynamics of native and exotic haplotypes ofPhragmites australis (Common reed) (2006, background): “Intraspecific differences among wetland plants have been documented for other wetland species, such as S. alterniflora (Seliskar et al. 2002), Spartina patens (Seliskar and Gallagher 1992), Distichlis spicata (Seliskar and Gallagher 2000), and Sporobolus virginicus (Seliskar 1998).”
Spartina alterniflora genotype influences facilitation and suppression of high marsh species colonizing an early successional salt marsh (2005, background): “Thus, our findings agree with Seliskar et al. (2002), who reported that different genotypes of S. alterniflora produced changes in the marsh environment and exerted strong control on certain ecological functions.”
Facilitated invasion by hybridization of Sarcocornia species in a salt‐marsh succession (2003, background): “Elsewhere, genetic differences between populations of a single foundation species (sensu Dayton 1975) such as Spartina alterniflora have been shown to affect considerably the functional properties of salt-marsh ecosystems (Seliskar et al. 2002).”
