Invasive chloroplast population genetics of Mikania micrantha in China: no local adaptation and negative correlation between diversity and geographic distance
Two fundamental questions on how invasive species are able to rapidly colonize novel habitat have emerged. One asks whether a negative correlation exists between the genetic diversity of invasive populations and their geographic distance from the origin of introduction. The other is whether selectio...
