| Title | Spread of Invasive Phragmites australis in Estuaries with Differing Degrees of Development: Genetic Patterns, Allee Effects and Interpretation |
| Creator | McCormick, Melissa K. Kettenring, Karin M. Baron, Heather M. Whigham, Dennis F. |
| Description | 1. The distribution of genetic variation can be interpreted to understand the timing and mechanisms of invasive species spread. Allee effects, positive relationships between fitness and density or number of conspecific individuals, can play a substantial role in determining the time lag between initial introduction and invasive spread and can produce genetic patterns in invading populations that can be interpreted to learn about factors affecting invasion mechanisms. 2. We examined the... |
