Invasion of an asexual American water flea clone throughout Africa and rapid displacement of a native sibling species.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Nov 2006

Mergeay Joachim, Verschuren Dirk, De Meester Luc

Abstract excerpt

The huge ecological and economic impact of biological invasions creates an urgent need for knowledge of traits that make invading species successful and factors helping indigenous populations to resist displacement by invading species or genotypes. High genetic diversity is generally considered to be advantageous in both processes. Combined with sex, it allows rapid evolution and adaptation to changing...
