The potential role of polyploidy and hybridisation in the further evolution of the highly invasive Fallopia taxa in Europe (2007, background): “Thirdly, polyploidy and hybridisation might be important factors in the evolution of new adaptive variability that may allow the rapid occupation of new environments within the secondary range (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
Hybridization and the evolution of invasiveness in plants and other organisms (2009, background): “Ellstrand and Schierenbeck (2000) cautioned that hybridization may be only one of many possible explanations for invasive ability.”
The silent extinction: climate change and the potential hybridization-mediated extinction of endemic high-mountain plants (2015, background): “Anthropogenic hybridization between introduced species and their native congeners occurs frequently and can create serious conservation concerns (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “2009), decrease genetic diversity of resident species (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Daehler and Carino 2001), and cause substantial economic losses (Pimentel et al.”
Phenotypic and genetic differentiation between native and introduced plant populations (2005, background): “hybridization in the introduced range may create novel genotypes (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
Asexual spread versus sexual reproduction and evolution in Japanese Knotweed s.l. sets the stage for the “Battle of the Clones” (2009, background): “Hybridisation is now recognized as an important evolutionary aspect that can significantly influence alien species and increase their invasibility (Rieseberg 1997; Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Hänfling and Kollmann 2002; Lee 2002).”
Phylogeographic consequences of different introduction histories of invasive Australian Acacia species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Fabaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “The effects of intra-specific hybridization and subsequent hybrid vigour have been demonstrated for numerous invasive species (Ellstrand & Schierenbeck, 2000) and as such represent a potential risk both to precipitating an invasion and to successful management (e.g. biological control).”
Assisted colonization is not a viable conservation strategy. (2009, background): “Another danger is that hybridization between an invader and a native can create a new invasive taxon [ 65 ,66].”
Jack of all trades, master of some? On the role of phenotypic plasticity in plant invasions. (2006, background): “…2005; Williams et al. 2005), but also because they inform about other genetic processes that may contribute to genetic change in the introduced range, such as founder effects (Brown &Marshall 1981; Barrett & Husband 1990) and inter- or intraspecific hybridization (Ellstrand & Schierenbeck 2000).”
Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “Similarly to interspecific hybridisation (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Seehausen 2004; de Carvalho et al. 2013), genetic admixture may create novel allelic combinations that enhance the fitness of introduced individuals.”
Human Agency in Biological Invasions: Secondary Releases Foster Naturalisation and Population Expansion of Alien Plant Species (2003, background): “‘Invasiveness’ as an expression of a species’ capacity to establish abundant populations within a broad geographical range may be stimulated by anthropogenically influenced genetic processes (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…requires professional taxonomic expertise and is crucial for management, given that hybridization often facilitates establishment (Yamaguchi et al. 2019) and stimulates invasiveness, where the new taxon is more vigorous than either parent (Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000; Vilà et al. 2000).”
Non‐native flora of Italy: Species distribution and threats (2010, background): “…in native plants), general risk of gene flow and introgression (e.g. from cultivated to native poplars in riparian habitats, Vilà et al. 2000; Ellstrand & Schierenbeck 2006); abiotic changes (e.g. modification of soil chemical–physical properties, soil litter, nutrient availability, ground…”
Hybridization dynamics of invasive cattail (Typhaceae) stands in the Western Great Lakes Region of North America: a molecular analysis (2010, background): “A potential consequence of backcrossing is the rapid evolution of increasingly aggressive genotypes (Ellstrand & Schierenbeck 2000), as has been seen in invasive Spartina (Ayres et al. 2008).”
HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “In addition, hybridization can unload deleterious alleles or fix heterotic genotypes with high vigor and phenotypic plasticity, or create taxa with transgressive phenotypes unlike either parent (Rieseberg et al. 1999, Ellstrand and Schierenbeck 2000).”
