Invasive clonal plants possess greater capacity for division of labor than natives in high patch contrast environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Invasion success of clonal plants is closely related to their unique clonal life history, and clonal division of labor is a crucial clonal trait. However, so far, it is unclear whether invasive alien clonal species generally possess a greater capacity ...

Clonal Plants as Meta-Holobionts [PDF]
mSystems, 2019 The holobiont concept defines a given organism and its associated symbionts as a potential level of selection over evolutionary time. In clonal plants, recent experiments demonstrated vertical transmission of part of the microbiota from one ramet (i.e ...

Plants, 2023 Plant modularity-related traits are important ecological determinants of vegetation composition, dynamics, and resilience. While simple changes in plant biomass resulting from salt treatments are usually considered a sufficient indicator for resistance ...

Vegetative Propagation Preserves Genomic Diversity and Informs Translocation Strategies in a Rare Clonal Plant [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsConservation translocations are widely used to increase population size and redundancy, yet their genetic consequences are often uncertain, particularly for clonal species with unknown rates of sexual reproduction.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Many of the world’s most invasive plants are clonal, and clonal functional traits are suggested to contribute to their invasiveness. Clonal integration is one of the most important clonal functional traits, but it is still unclear whether clonal ...

Clonal versus non-clonal milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) respond differently to stem damage, affecting oviposition by monarch butterflies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Oviposition decisions are critical to the fitness of herbivorous insects and are often impacted by the availability and condition of host plants.

An invasive clonal plant benefits from clonal integration more than a co-occurring native plant in nutrient-patchy and competitive environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, however, little is known about the different roles of clonal integration effects between invasive and native plants.

Effects of a spatially heterogeneous nutrient distribution on the growth of clonal wetland plants
BMC Ecology, 2020 Background Clonal plants are important in maintaining wetland ecosystems. The main growth types of clonal plants are the guerrilla and phalanx types. However, little is known about the effects of these different clonal growth types on plant plasticity in

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parental environmental effects can be a rapid and effective means for clonal plants in response to temporally or spatially varying environments. However, few studies have quantitatively measured the ecological significance of parental effects in aquatic ...
