This study investigates the factors limiting the northward spread of invasive knotweed through a transplant experiment, finding that low temperatures reduce below-ground biomass and hinder expansion.

This study uses herbarium records to analyze long-term changes in stomatal and leaf traits of invasive knotweeds over 160 years, finding shifts in stomatal size and shape linked to CO2 levels and climate.

This study examines phenotypic plasticity and population differentiation in Japanese knotweed across Europe using a common garden experiment, finding high plasticity but little local adaptation.

This study examines how dissolved inorganic carbon affects calcite shell formation in 12 strains of freshwater algae, finding reduced shell thickness and calcite dissolution at low DIC levels.

This study uses herbarium genomics to trace the origin and global spread of Japanese knotweed, revealing genetic patterns and hybridization events across its native and introduced ranges.

This study observes rapid genetic adaptation and population dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse climates over 5 years, showing predictable adaptation trends linked to survival and extinction risks.

This study examines how plant genotype and age influence microbiome diversity and composition in natural Lotus corniculatus populations across multiple years.

The paper examines how environmental factors shape distinct yet overlapping microbial communities in different organs of Lotus corniculatus across multiple sites and years.

This study examines organ-specific microbiomes in Lotus corniculatus across seven grassland sites over four years, revealing distinct core microbiomes shaped by selective filtering, microbial interactions, and environmental factors.

The paper examines genetic differentiation in herbivore resistance traits among native and introduced populations of Japanese knotweed across different regions.

The paper examines phenotypic variation in Reynoutria japonica across native and introduced ranges, finding higher clonality and plasticity in introduced populations compared to native Chinese populations.

The paper quantifies global latitudinal herbivory gradients for native and exotic plants, finding native plants show a decline with latitude while exotic plants do not, mediated by herbivore guilds and climate factors.

The paper examines transposon dynamics in Thlaspi arvense, identifying TE polymorphisms linked to genetic diversity and adaptation across populations.

The paper presents a draft genome of Alliaria petiolata to support invasion genetics research and conservation strategies.

The paper presents a rainfall-manipulation experiment with 517 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to study adaptation and fitness under different climate conditions.
