Can polyploidy confer invasive plants with a wider climatic tolerance? A test using Solidago canadensis
Abstract Polyploidy can cause variation in plant functional traits and thereby generate individuals that can adapt to fluctuating environments and exploit new environments. However, few empirical studies have tested for an association between ploidy level and climatic tolerance of invasive cytotypes...
