Local Adaptation for Life-History Traits in Silene Latifolia
… how species adjust post colonization. The plant Silene latifolia was introduced to North America (NA) from Europe (EU) in the 1800s. The goal of this thesis was to test if Silene latifolia has become locally adapted across its range. My first experiment tested local adaptation of germination …

Quantifying Environmental Maternal Effects in the Invasive Plant, Silene Latifolia
… was to quantify EME using a plant species, Silene latifolia, which is native to Europe and invasive in North America. I did this by experimentally comparing the amount of variation in life history traits between two generations: Natural (Parent) and Uniform (Offspring). The Parent generation …

Role of Hybridization in a Biological Invasion: An Experimental Study with Silene Latifolia
… invasion success by using the agricultural weed Silene latifolia as a model. I used a common garden experiment to examine whether crossing parents of different ancestry results in offspring with differing quality. Plants were pollinated in three treatments reflecting parent plants within the same …

An Experimental Investigation of Life History Variation in Native and Introduced Populations of <em>Silene latifolia</em>
… after introduction. The study species was <em>Silene latifolia</em>. Also, when organisms leaves their native range, they also escape their natural enemies. The escape-from-enemies hypothesis theorizes that plants which escape natural enemies will shift more energy to growth and reproduction. …

The Role of Evolutionary Processes in a Biological Invasion: An Experimental Study with <em>Silene latifolia</em>
… using the aggressive agricultural weed, <em>Silene latifolia</em>. <em>Silene latifolia</em> is native to Europe and was introduced to North Amenca 200 years ago with the spread of agriculture. It has already been shown that this plant escaped its enemies upon introduction, but it is not …

Importance of floral scent compounds for the interaction between Silene latifolia (Caryophyllaceae) and the nursery pollinator Hadena bicruris (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
… between the nocturnal Caryophyllaceae Silene latifolia, and the noctuid moth Hadena bicruris was determined. This insect-plant relationship is one of the known nursery pollination systems, where pollinators reproduce within the flowers they pollinate. Silene latifolia is a dioecious …

Bases fisiológicas y moleculares de la reproducción sexual y asexual en el gametofito de helechos
… en especies como Marchantia polymorpha y Silene latifolia hasta los reguladores del desarrollo en Zea mays y Cucumis sativa (Tanurdzic y Banks 2004). Cuando el gametofito se reproduce por mecanismos sexuales, tiene lugar la formación de órganos sexuales: femeninos o arquegonios y …
