Development and utilization of molecular tools to understand invasion biology in Centaurea maculosa (spotted knapweed)
… in the invasive weed, spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.). In this dissertation, I first introduce the need for research at multiple scales and the potential benefits of collectively examining molecular, physiological and ecological phenomena in an invasive plant. I then give a …

Predicting Spotted Knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) Range Expansion Near Missoula Montana Using Localized Climate and Elevation Data
Since the 1920s spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) has adapted to a variety of habitats, including pastureland, rangeland, hay land, open forests, road sides, and ditches. In 2003 this plant species dominated more than five million acres in Montana, half of the total infestation of noxious weeds …

NO SIMPLE TRADEOFFS: CENTAUREA PLANTS FROM AMERICA ARE BETTER COMPETITORS AND DEFENDERS THAN PLANTS FROM THE NATIVE RANGE
… of invasive North American populations of Centaurea maculosa to populations in Europe, where the species is native. I found that Centaurea from North America were larger, but produced fewer flowers than plants from European populations. North American Centaurea demonstrated much stronger …
