• The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions. (2012, background): “The seeds of many autotetraploids are larger than those of their diploid conspecifics (Bretagnolle et al., 1995; Levin, 2002).”
• The “Polyploid Hop”: Shifting Challenges and Opportunities Over the Evolutionary Lifespan of Genome Duplications (2018, background): “Even more, polyploid establishment is substantially constrained by overall low chances of polyploid mutants persisting among their diploid progenitors (Levin, 2002; Ramsey and Schemske, 2002).”
• Hybridization and speciation (2013, background): “There are several mechanisms, such as fixed heterozygosity, that may explain the advantages allopolyploids display under such conditions (Levin, 2002; Hegarty & Hiscock, 2007).”
• Autopolyploidy in angiosperms: Have we grossly underestimated the number of species? (2007, unknown): “…in plants and has been a major factor in the evolution of other lineages of eukaryotes, including yeast (Kellis & al., 2004) and many groups of vertebrates and invertebrates (reviewed in Levin, 2002; Wendel & Doyle, 2005; Adams & Wendel, 2005; Gregory & Mable, 2005; Tate & al., 2005).”
• Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility (2006, background): “Polyploids have many characteristics that allow them to maintain higher levels of genetic diversity, compared to diploids, and therefore to cope with problems of a small founder population (Soltis and Soltis, 1993; Levin, 2002).”
• Influence of phylogeny and ploidy on species ranges of North American angiosperms (2009, background): “Among extant species, polyploidy is considered an important genetic cause of changes in the geographical and ecological range of species (Levin 2002).”
• Polyploidy and angiosperm diversification. (2009, background): “Given the many purported benefi ts of polyploidy (e.g., Levin, 1983 , 2000 , 2002 ) and the suggested relationship of genome duplication to speciation ( Werth and Windham, 1991 ; Lynch and Force, 2000 ; Lynch and Conery, 2000 ), rates of diversifi cation may be higher in polyploid lineages than in…”

• THE BIOLOGY OF SPECIATION (2010, background): “In this regard, it is well established that chromosome duplication can imbue neopolyploids with distinct ecological, morphological, and physiological characteristics (Levin 2002; Ramsey and Schemske 2002).”
• Revisiting the Impact of Inversions in Evolution: From Population Genetic Markers to Drivers of Adaptive Shifts and Speciation? (2008, background): “First, rates of chromosomal evolution appear to be highest in annual plants (Burke et al. 2004, Levin 2002), which are prone to dramatic fluctuations in population size and high levels of population turnover (Harrison et al. 2000).”
• Mating Consequences of Polyploid Evolution in Flowering Plants: Current Trends and Insights from Synthetic Polyploids (2008, background): “These shifts in ploidy can have significant effects on morphological, physiological, and life-history traits, owing to direct effects on cell size, cell cycle, and development rate and indirect effects on heterozygosity and adaptive potential (Levin 1983, 2002; Otto and Whitton 2000).”
• Evolution: The First Four Billion Years (2009, background): “Both mechanisms of polyploidy are common in ferns, mosses, algae, and virtually all groups of vascular plants, particularly angiosperms (Stebbins 1950; Levin2002).”
