Multiple introductions and efficient propagule dispersion can lead to high genetic variability in an invasive clonal species

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Furcraea foetida (L.) Haw. (Asparagaceae) is an invasive plant in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In Brazil, this species is mainly invasive along the Atlantic coast. The sexual reproduction is unknown in native and invaded regions, and individuals efficiently produce thousands of vegetative propagules by clonal reproduction. The actual distribution of F. foetida seems to be related to its historica...
