Abstract Climatic niche shifts occur when species occupy different climates in the introduced range than their native range. are known to across a of taxa, however we do not currently understand whether climatic can consistently be predicted multiple ranges. Using three congeneric weed species, investigate one consistent other ranges where has been introduced. We compared conditions occupied by...

Interpopulation variability in seed traits may drive the regeneration capacity of a species to colonize different environments. In present study, we evaluated variation physical (mass / size, water imbibition, shape index) and physiological (germination) five Polygonaceae species. Seeds Polygonum lapathifolium var. salicifolium , P. Reynoutria japonica Rumex trisetifer R. obtusifolius were coll...
