Abstract: Using the MAXENT algorithm, we developed risk maps for eight invasive plant species in southern Transylvania, Romania, a region undergoing drastic land-use changes. Our findings show that invasion risk increased with landscape heterogeneity. Roads and agricultural areas were most prone to invasion, whereas forests were least at risk.

Ploidy levels and reproductive behaviour in invasive Hieracium pilosella in Patagonia https://neobiota.pensoft.net/article/1218/ NeoBiota 11: 25-31

DOI: 10.3897/neobiota.11.1349

Authors: František Krahulec, Anna Krahulcova

Abstract: Within a population of invasive Hieracium pilosella in Chilean Patagonia we found two ploidy levels, pentaploid and hexaploid. Each ploidy level was represented by one clone. Their reproductive system was apomictic (and thus replicating the maternal genome), with a low degree of residual sexuality. It is necessary to prevent the evolution of new biotypes via hybridisation with different clones of H. pilosella or other Hieracium species introduced into Patagonia.
