No evidence for local adaptation and an epigenetic underpinning in native and non‐native ruderal plant species in Germany
Abstract Many invasive species have rapidly adapted to different environments in their new ranges. This is surprising, as colonization is usually associated with reduced genetic variation. Heritable phenotypic variation with an epigenetic basis may explain this paradox. Here, we assessed the contrib...
