Evolution des traits d'histoire de vie lors des invasions végétales

Abstract

Life history trait evolution during plant invasion. Despite the problems they cause, plant invasions can be seen as opportunities for the study of rapid evolution. In this paper are presented the main evolutionary changes in life history that can occur during the three main plant invasion phases: introduction, naturalization and expansion in the new range. The study of those evolutionary changes is traditionally split in the comparison between native and introduced populations and the study of life history differentiation within the invaded area.
