This study tests if trait differentiation in invasive Centaurea melitensis across urban environments follows the Plant Economic Spectrum predictions, finding no multivariate trait strategies as expected.

This study tests hypotheses about factors driving invasion success in non-native ferns, finding no phylogenetic clustering, conserved climatic niches, smaller genomes in naturalized ferns, and higher ploidal levels in invaders.

The paper presents a near chromosome-level genome assembly for Centaurea melitensis, revealing structural variation and gene content.

This study provides a genome and epigenomic analysis of the invasive fern Lygodium microphyllum, revealing differences between its gametophyte and sporophyte life phases and their responses to freezing stress.

The paper develops a multivariate landscape classification framework to categorize urbanized landscapes in California and assesses how environmental zones influence trait variation in the invasive plant Maltese starthistle.
