The paper shows that niche differentiation enables coexistence among early diverging lineages of duckweed before speciation completes, suggesting ecological factors influence speciation.

The paper examines how competitor-induced plasticity affects plant traits and competitive outcomes, finding that plastic responses can reduce pairwise coexistence likelihood.

This study shows that neopolyploidy in duckweed affects aphid herbivore preference and performance, with outcomes dependent on plant genetic background.

This study shows that neopolyploidy in duckweed increases tolerance to urban pollutants and maintains fitness across diverse stresses, supporting the 'general purpose' genotype hypothesis.

The paper develops microsatellite markers for two duckweed species and tests their polymorphism in European and U.S. samples.
