Genetic control of invasive plants species using selfish genetic elements
Invasive plants cause substantial environmental damage and economic loss. Here, we explore the possibility that a selfish genetic element found in plants called cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) could be exploited for weed control. CMS is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome that sterilize male reproductive organs. We developed an analytical model and a spatial simulation to assess th...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats
The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...
متن کاملReduced genetic variation and the success of an invasive species.
Despite the severe ecological and economic damage caused by introduced species, factors that allow invaders to become successful often remain elusive. Of invasive taxa, ants are among the most widespread and harmful. Highly invasive ants are often unicolonial, forming supercolonies in which workers and queens mix freely among physically separate nests. By reducing costs associated with territor...
متن کاملGenetic differences in growth of an invasive tree species
Evan Siemann and William E. Rogers Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, U.S.A. Correspondence: Evan Siemann. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Invasive plants are often more vigorous in their introduced ranges than in their native ranges. This may re ̄ect an innate superiority of plants from some habitats or an escape from their enemies. Another hyp...
متن کاملComplex genetic patterns in closely related colonizing invasive species
Anthropogenic activities frequently result in both rapidly changing environments and translocation of species from their native ranges (i.e., biological invasions). Empirical studies suggest that many factors associated with these changes can lead to complex genetic patterns, particularly among invasive populations. However, genetic complexities and factors responsible for them remain uncharact...
