Adjusting to Global Change through Clonal Growth and Epigenetic Variation
The earth is experiencing major changes in global and regional climates and changes are predicted to accelerate in the future. Many species will be under considerable pressure to evolve, to migrate, or be faced with extinction. Clonal plants would appear to be at a particular disadvantage due to their limited mobility and limited capacity for adaptation. However, they have outlived previous env...
متن کاملInvasion percolation and global optimization.
Flow in a porous medium, a problem with important practical applications, has motivated a large number of theoretical and experimental studies [1]. Aiming to understand the complex interplay between the dynamics of flow processes and randomness characterizing the porous medium, a number of models have been introduced that capture different aspects of various experimental situations. One of the ...
متن کاملModeling the effect of climate change to the potential invasion range of Piper aduncum Linnaeus
The potential effect of invasive plant species on biodiversity is one of most important subject of inquiry at present. In many parts of the world, the alarming spread of these plants has been documented. Knowing that climate exerts a dominant control over the distribution of plant species, predictions can therefore be made to determine which areas the species would likely spread under a climate...
متن کاملImpacts of Climate Change on the Global Invasion Potential of the African Clawed Frog Xenopus laevis
By altering or eliminating delicate ecological relationships, non-indigenous species are considered a major threat to biodiversity, as well as a driver of environmental change. Global climate change affects ecosystems and ecological communities, leading to changes in the phenology, geographic ranges, or population abundance of several species. Thus, predicting the impacts of global climate chan...
