Adaptation to an extraordinary environment by evolution of phenotypic plasticity and genetic assimilation (2009, background): “Genetic variance in plasticity within and/or among populations has commonly been observed (Scheiner, 1993, 2002), and species invading novel or extreme environments often, but not always, display increased plasticity compared to populations from the native range (Chapman et al., 2000; Lee et al., 20”
Rethinking the common garden in invasion research. (2009, background): “(2007) – 2 experiments Kollmann and Banuelos (2004); Weber and Schmid (1998;) Weber and D’Antonio (1999); Ebeling et al. (2008); Monty and Mahy (2009).”
Evidence for a combination of pre‐adapted traits and rapid adaptive change in the invasive plant Centaurea stoebe (2010, result): “In contrast, our results and others (Caño et al. 2008; Leishman, Thomson&Cooke 2010) suggest that rapid carbon capture via high SLA may not be always advantageous in invasive plants and highlight the importance of ecological context for each individual species in determining whether particular plant”
Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, unknown): “For example, Cano et al. (2008) reported higher survival, relative growth rate, reproductive performance and plasticity in Spanish populations of Senecio pterophorus, an invasive shrub from South Africa, and pointed to post-introduction evolution as a potential mechanism involved in the observed…”
