    Evolution in invasive plants: implications for biological control

    Müller-Schärer, Heinz ; Schaffner, Urs ; Steinger, Thomas

    In: Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2004, vol. 19, p. 417-422

    Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the process of range expansion. Here, we argue that evolutionary change during invasions will also affect plant–antagonist inter-actions and, thus, will have important implications for biological control programmes targeted at invasive plants. We explore how altered selection in the new range might influence...
