Examining the molecular mechanisms contributing to the success of an invasive species across different ecosystems

This study uses RNA-seq to compare molecular processes in invasive Gypsophila paniculata populations across two ecosystems, finding environmental plasticity and limited genetic divergence contribute to their success.

Old Meets New: Combining Herbarium Databases with Genetic Methods to Evaluate the Invasion Status of Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata) in North America

This study combines genetic analysis and herbarium data to show Gypsophila paniculata has at least two invasion events in North America, with potential ongoing range expansion.

Identification and characterization of Gypsophila paniculata color morphs in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, MI, USA.

This study identifies and characterizes two color morphs of Gypsophila paniculata in a national lakeshore, finding they are not distinct species but variants with potential genetic basis for color difference.

Genetic structure of invasive babys breath (Gypsophila paniculata) populations in a freshwater Michigan dune system

The paper quantifies genetic diversity and structure of invasive Gypsophila paniculata populations in Michigan dunes, finding strong genetic structure and evidence of multiple introduction events.

Microsatellite primer development for invasive perennial herb, Gypsophila paniculata (Caryophyllaceae)

The paper develops microsatellite primers for Gypsophila paniculata to study genetic structure in invasive and native populations.
