Abstract:PremiseAdaptation to novel biotic and abiotic environments has often been assumed in successful invasions. However, invasive species often occupy broad climatic niches within their native and introduced ranges, and a lack of invasion history and sampling bias may obscure the ability to establish how traits have changed in invasive populations from those of the origin population.MethodsWe tested heritable differences in herbivore resistance of the global invasive species,Reynoutria japonica(Japanese knotweed) b… Show more
