Phenotypic Differentiation Is Associated with Gender Plasticity and Its Responsive Delay to Environmental Changes in Alternanthera philoxeroides – Phenotypic Differentiation in Alligator Weed
Phenotypic plasticity is common in many taxa, and it may increase an organism's fitness in heterogeneous environments. However, in some cases, the frequency of environmental changes can be faster than the ability of the individual to produce new adaptive phenotypes. The importance of such a time delay in terms of individual fitness and species adaptability has not been well studied. Here, we st...
متن کاملInvasion of alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) in Wular Lake, Kashmir, India
Alligator weed Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb (Amaranthaceae) is being reported for the first time from Kashmir, India. Alternanthera philoxeroides was collected in 2008 during the vegetation survey of Wular Lake, a wetland of international importance under Ramsar convention. Alternanthera philoxeroides is a noxious invasive weed widespread throughout the world. We suggested that al...
متن کاملGrowth of aquatic alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) over 5 years in south-east Australia
The largest known infestation of alligator weed Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. in Victoria, Australia, was reported in January 2009 in an urban pond. To determine how long the infestation had been present, high quality digital aerial images (orthophotos) were gathered for the site. Since all infestations are subject to ongoing eradication programs in Victoria, historical orthophoto...
متن کاملSpecificity of herbivore‐induced responses in an invasive species, Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed)
Herbivory-induced responses in plants can both negatively affect subsequently colonizing herbivores and mitigate the effect of herbivory on the host. However, it is still less known whether plants exhibit specific responses to specialist and generalist herbivores in non-secondary metabolite traits and how specificity to specialists and generalists differs between invasive and native plant popul...
متن کاملManagement of aquatic alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) in an early stage of invasion
Alligator weed Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. is an amphibious plant that aggressively invades aquatic and terrestrial environments. It has invaded at least 14 countries and is difficult to control. The present study investigates the effectiveness of herbicides and physical removal in eliminating patches of aquatic alligator weed in an early stage of invasion. This paper firstly de...
