Trait Values, Not Trait Plasticity, Best Explain Invasive Species' Performance in a Changing Environment
The question of why some introduced species become invasive and others do not is the central puzzle of invasion biology. Two of the principal explanations for this phenomenon concern functional traits: invasive species may have higher values of competitively advantageous traits than non-invasive species, or they may have greater phenotypic plasticity in traits that permits them to survive the c...
متن کاملDifferences in seedling growth behaviour among species] trait correlations across species\ and trait shifts along nutrient compared to rainfall gradients
0 Species!pairs from woody dicot lineages were chosen as phylogenetically inde! pendent contrasts "PICs# to represent evolutionary divergences along gradients of rainfall and nutrient stress\ and within particular habitat types\ in New South Wales\ Australia[ Seedlings were grown under controlled\ favourable conditions and measurements were made for various growth\ morphological and allocation ...
متن کاملAntagonistic epistasis for ecophysiological trait differences between Solanum species.
Epistasis, the nonadditive interaction between loci, is thought to play a role in many fundamental evolutionary processes, including adaptive differentiation and speciation. Focusing on species differences in ecophysiological traits, we examined the strength and direction of pairwise epistatic interactions between target chromosomal regions from one species, when co-introgressed into the geneti...
متن کاملEstimating Trait Heritability in Highly Fecund Species
Increasingly, researchers are interested in estimating the heritability of traits for nonmodel organisms. However, estimating the heritability of these traits presents both experimental and statistical challenges, which typically arise from logistical difficulties associated with rearing large numbers of families independently in the field, a lack of known pedigree, the need to account for grou...
متن کاملLeaf trait relationships in Australian plant species
Leaf trait data were compiled for 258 Australian plant species from several habitat types dominated by woody perennials. Specific leaf area (SLA), photosynthetic capacity, dark respiration rate and leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations were positively correlated with one another and negatively correlated with average leaf lifespan. These trait relationships were consistent with pr...
