The immediate metabolomic effects of whole‐genome duplication in the greater duckweed, <i>Spirodela polyrhiza</i> Open
Premise In plants, whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is a common mutation with profound evolutionary potential. Given the costs associated with a superfluous genome copy, polyploid establishment is enigmatic. However, in the right environment…

Interspecific transfer of genetic information through polyploid bridges Open
Hybridization blurs species boundaries and leads to intertwined lineages resulting in reticulate evolution. Polyploidy, the outcome of whole genome duplication (WGD), has more recently been implicated in promoting and facilitating hybridiz…

Understanding polyploid establishment: temporary persistence or stable coexistence? Open
Polyploidy, resulting from whole‐genome duplication (WGD), is ubiquitous in nature and reportedly associated with extreme environments and biological invasions. However, WGD usually comes with great costs, raising questions about the estab…

Non-indigenous seaweeds in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and Macaronesia: a critical synthesis of diversity, spatial and temporal patterns Open
Effective monitoring of non-indigenous seaweeds and combatting their effects relies on a solid confirmation of the non-indigenous status of the respective species. We critically analysed the status of presumed non-indigenous seaweed specie…

Interspecific transfer of genetic information through polyploid bridges Open
Many organisms have more than two sets of chromosomes, due to whole genome duplication (WGD), and are thus polyploid. Despite usually being an ephemeral state in the history of life, polyploidy is widely recognized as an important source o…

The duplication of genomes and genetic networks and its potential for evolutionary adaptation and survival during environmental turmoil Open
The importance of whole-genome duplication (WGD) for evolution is controversial. Whereas some view WGD mainly as detrimental and an evolutionary dead end, there is growing evidence that polyploidization can help overcome environmental chan…

Tracing the introduction of <i>Dictyota acutiloba</i> (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) in the Mediterranean Sea, with a reassessment of its geographic distribution Open
In this study we explore the introduction of the brown alga Dictyota acutiloba in the Mediterranean Sea and provide a substantive update on the geographic distribution of this species, which was long thought to be confined to the Pacific O…

The immediate effects of polyploidization of<i>Spirodela polyrhiza</i>change in a strain-specific way along environmental gradients Open
The immediate effects of plant polyploidization are well characterized and it is generally accepted that these morphological, physiological, developmental, and phenological changes contribute to polyploid establishment. Studies on the envi…
