The factors that promote invasive behavior in introduced plant species occur across many scales of biological and ecological organization. Factors act at relatively small scales, for example, the evolution traits associated with invasiveness, scale up to shape distributions among different climates habitats, as well other characteristics linked invasion, such attractiveness cultivation (and by extension propagule pressure). To identify drivers invasion it is therefore necessary disentangle...
The Pladias (Plant Diversity Analysis and Synthesis) Database of the Czech Flora Vegetation was developed by project team in 2014-2018 has been continuously updated since then.The flora section database contains critically revised information on vascular flora, including 13.6 million plant occurrence records, which are dynamically displayed maps, data 120 characteristics (traits, environmental associations other information), divided into sections (1) Habitus growth type, (2) Leaf, (3)...
To better understand the effect of species traits on plant invasion, we collected comparative data 20 reproductive and dispersal 93 herbaceous alien in Czech Republic, central Europe, introduced after 1500 A. D. We explain invasion success, expressed by two measures: invasiveness, i.e. whether is naturalized but non-invasive, or invasive; dominance communities as mean cover vegetation plots. also tested how important are models including other characteristics generally known to predict...
The literature suggests that small genomes promote invasion in plants, but little is known about the interaction of genome size with other traits or role during different phases process. By intercontinental comparison native and invasive populations common reed Phragmites australis, we revealed a distinct relationship between invasiveness at intraspecific level. Monoploid was only significant variable clearly separated North American plants from those European origin. mean Cx value (the...
Background The species Carpobrotus edulis, native to South Africa, is one of the major plant invaders Mediterranean coastal ecosystems around world. Invasion by C. edulis exerts a great impact on habitats. low number in invaded communities points possible existence mechanisms suppressing their germination. In this study we assessed whether soil factors, endozoochory, competition and allelopathic effects invader affect its own early establishment that Malcolmia littorea. We used laboratory...
The seed bank of Heracleum mantegazzianum , native to the western Caucasus and invasive in Europe, was studied Slavkovský les Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, during course two growing seasons. In each seven study sites with dominating stands species, soil samples were taken October (after fruit release), April (before germination) June–July release). Ten from site using a hand bore, 4.6 cm diameter. Seeds elutriated immediately germinated laboratory conditions (10°C, 12 h light/12...
Two species of knotweeds (genus Fallopia, Polygonaceae), native to Asia (Fallopia sachalinensis, F. japonica) and their hybrid (F. ×bohemica) belong the most noxious plant invaders in Europe exert a high impact on invaded communities that are therefore typically extremely poor species. The remarkable paucity points possible existence mechanisms suppressing germinating populations stands. In this pilot study we assessed, under laboratory conditions, whether there phytotoxic effects three...
Atlantic oceanic islands host a unique fauna of endemic lizards, at least some which closely interact with local native and alien plants. Knowledge these interactions is necessary for effective protection the island’s biodiversity. Interactions between Cape Verdean skink Chioninia stangeri (Scincidae) three plant species – Tribulus cistoides, Zygophyllum simplex (both Zygophyllaceae) Lotus sp. (Fabaceae) were studied photographically documented on island Săo Vicente (Cape Verde Islands) in...
Plant species distributions are determined by the response of populations to regional climates; however, little is known about how alien plants that arrive in central Europe from climatically warmer regions cope with temperature conditions at early stage population development. Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed) an invasive annual plant causing considerable health and economic problems Europe. Although climate-based models predict whole Czech Republic suitable for this species, it...
The ability to reproduce via multiple strategies is crucial for the invasion success of alien plant species. Here, we use Carpobrotus taxa (species and hybrids) explore how trade-offs between within these may influence dynamics. Native South Africa, plants are globally prominent in coastal ecosystems, reproducing by seed clonally, frequently hybridizing both native introduced regions. Three genetically distinct clusters were previously identified, with evidence hybridization non-native...
Despite recent evidence on the important role of seed banks associated with plant invasions, and a large body literature invasive annual Impatiens species, little is known about bank characteristics species. To bridge this gap, we conducted five-year field experiment where buried seeds two species ( I. glandulifera parviflora ) one native noli-tangere across four localities in Czech Republic, harbouring all three differing environmental conditions. We found that differed their banks. Both...
In oxygenic photosynthesis the initial photochemical processes are carried out by photosystem I (PSI) and II (PSII). Although subunit composition varies between cyanobacterial plastid photosystems, core structures of PSI PSII conserved throughout photosynthetic eukaryotes. So far, complexes have been characterised in only a small number organisms. We performed silico biochemical studies to explore organization evolution apparatus chromerids Chromera velia Vitrella brassicaformis, autotrophic...
