Evolving Phenotypic plasticity and Plant Invasiveness: An inter-disciplinary approach


Category

FP7 Project with U.S. partner

Short name and number

EVOPLASTINV (237417)

Area

Environment including Climate change

Description

Biodiversity is changing due to global climate change and local drivers such as the introduction of invasive species, which are considered one of the greatest threats to natural ecosystems. Despite increasing impacts, little is known about the evolutionary mechanisms that lead to invasiveness in introduced species. It is thought that the greater the breadth of environmental conditions across which a species can maintain fitness, the greater the likelihood of being invasive.

Participating Countries

Spain and United States.

Name of US Partner

Wesleyan University
