Heracleum mantegazzianum is a successful invader in many European countries. Besides its impact on biodiversity, it represents a health hazard because of its phototoxic sap. Population genetic studies may help to predict which species are most likely to become invasive. In this study, we investigated the population genetic variation and structure of Heracleum sp., identified as H. mantegazzianum in Finland, i.e.,...
