Ecophysiological differences between genetic lineages facilitate the invasion of non‐native Phragmites australis in North American Atlantic coast wetlands (2010, background): “…(Galloway et al. 2004), the introduced lineage can exploit increasedN pools due to greater N uptake rates (Mozdzer, Zieman & McGlathery in press), fuelling the photosynthetic machinery, which results in the currently observed higher rates of photosynthesis and RGR (Vasquez et al. 2005).”
Genetics and Reproduction of Common (Phragmites australis) and Giant Reed (Arundo donax) (2010, background): “However, P. a. ssp. americanus has lower seed germination rates (Meyerson et al. 2009) and produces fewer rhizomes than introduced P. australis on an annual basis, at least in the early stages of growth (League et al. 2006; Saltonstall and Stevenson 2007; Vasquez et al. 2005).”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Phragmites australis (2017, background): “However, salt tolerance can be achieved due to K uptake preventing the influx of Na or via increased Na exclusion by roots (Lissner et al. 1999; Vasquez et al. 2005).”
Physicochemical environments and tolerances of cyprinodontoid fishes found in estuaries and salt marshes of eastern North America (2006, result): “Recent analyses have differed in interpretations as to why the non-native haplotype has become invasive in areas where the native haplotypes were not (e.g., Silliman and Bertness 2004; Vasquez et al. 2005).”
