Local exclusion and regional decline of an endemic Galapagos tree species (Psidium galapageium) by an invasive relative (P. guajava)

This study shows invasive Psidium guajava is causing local exclusion and regional decline of the endemic Psidium galapageium in the Galapagos, with management prioritization based on guava cover.

Understanding the genetic diversity of the guayabillo (Psidium galapageium), an endemic plant of the Galapagos Islands

This study analyzes the genetic diversity and population structure of the Galapagos endemic plant Psidium galapageium using SSR markers, revealing strong population structure and distinct genetic lineages.

Reconstructing the history and biological consequences of a plant invasion on the Galapagos islands

This study uses population genomics to trace the invasion of wild tomato on the Galapagos Islands, revealing hybridization with endemic species and its impact on fruit color evolution.

Local extirpation is pervasive among populations of Galapagos endemic tomatoes

The paper documents the local extirpation of >80% of Galapagos endemic tomato populations and links this to human development and hybridization with invasive species.

Psidium guajava in the Galapagos Islands: population genetics and history of an invasive species

This study investigates the population genetics of Psidium guajava in the Galapagos Islands using SSR markers, revealing genetic diversity patterns and potential introduction routes.
