The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions

TL;DR: Polyploidy can be an important factor in species invasion success through a combination of 'pre-adaptation', whereby polyploid lineages are predisposed to conditions in the new range and, therefore, have higher survival rates and fitness in the earliest establishment phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyploidy in arctic plants

TL;DR: It is concluded that the evolutionary success of polyploids in the Arctic may be based on their fixed-heterozygous genomes, which buffer against inbreeding and genetic drift through periods of dramatic climate change.

INVITED REVIEW The more the better? The role of polyploidy in facilitating plant invasions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current knowledge on the importance of polyploidy for the invasion (i.e., spread) of introduced plants and provide an overview of ploidal levels in selected invasive alien plants and explain how ploidy might have contributed to their success.

Fifty thousand years of Arctic vegetation and megafaunal diet

Eske Willerslev, +55 more
- 06 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: The authors' analyses indicate that both graminoids and forbs would have featured in megafaunal diets, and question the predominance of a Late Quaternary graminoid-dominated Arctic mammoth steppe.
