Abstract:
Although invasion processes have been intensely studied, the mechanisms underlying the success of some invasive clonal species remain a mystery. Using the specific example of Carpobrotus edulis, we illustrate how invasion success can be facilitated by a unique spatiotemporal regulation of growth and senescence of plant parts.
