No genetic erosion after five generations for Impatiens glandulifera populations across the invaded range in Europe

No genetic erosion after five generations for Impatiens glandulifera populations across the invaded range in Europe

Abstract Background The observation that many alien species become invasive despite low genetic diversity has long been considered the ‘genetic paradox’ in invasion biology. This paradox is often resolved through the temporal buildup genetic diversity through multiple introduction events. These temp...
