The devil is in the details: genetic variation in introduced populations and its contributions to invasion

KM Dlugosch, SR Anderson, J Braasch… - … genetics: The baker …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The influence of genetic variation on invasion success has captivated researchers since the
start of the field of invasion genetics 50 years ago. We review the history of work on this …

Field responses of predaceous arthropods to methyl salicylate: a meta-analysis and case study in cranberries

C Rodriguez-Saona, I Kaplan, J Braasch… - Biological control, 2011 - Elsevier
Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a herbivore-induced plant volatile that has shown potential in
attracting natural enemies. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the magnitude of …

Over what distance are plant volatiles bioactive? Estimating the spatial dimensions of attraction in an arthropod assemblage

J Braasch, I Kaplan - Entomologia experimentalis et applicata, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
As studies demonstrating attraction of natural enemies to synthetic herbivore‐induced plant
volatiles ( HIPV s) accumulate, it is becoming increasingly important to investigate how …

Testing for phytochemical synergism: arthropod community responses to induced plant volatile blends across crops

J Braasch, GM Wimp, I Kaplan - Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2012 - Springer
Using herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) to attract specific natural enemies in the
field has proven challenging, partly because of a poor understanding of: (i) which compound(s) …

Expansion history and environmental suitability shape effective population size in a plant invasion

J Braasch, BS Barker, KM Dlugosch - Molecular Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The margins of an expanding range are predicted to be challenging environments for
adaptation. Marginal populations should often experience low effective population sizes (N e ) …

Potential limits to the benefits of admixture during biological invasion

…, JE Cocio, SR Anderson, JE Braasch… - Molecular …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Species introductions often bring together genetically divergent source populations, resulting
in genetic admixture. This geographic reshuffling of diversity has the potential to generate …

New uses for ancient middens: bridging ecological and evolutionary perspectives

KM Becklin, JL Betancourt, J Braasch… - Trends in Ecology & …, 2024 - cell.com
Rodent middens provide a fine-scale spatiotemporal record of plant and animal communities
over the late Quaternary. In the Americas, middens have offered insight into biotic …

Testing for evolutionary change in restoration: A genomic comparison between ex situ, native, and commercial seed sources of Helianthus maximiliani

JE Braasch, LN Di Santo, ZJ Tarble… - Evolutionary …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Globally imperiled ecosystems often depend upon collection, propagation, and storage of
seed material for use in restoration. However, during the restoration process demographic …

Environmental contributions to the evolution of trait differences in Geum triflorum: Implications for restoration

K Volk, J Braasch, M Ahlering… - American journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Premise How the environment influences the distribution of trait variation across a species’
range has important implications for seed transfer during restoration. Evolution across …

[PDF][PDF] Genetic diversity and functional traits predict population trajectories in a plant community during extreme drought

JE Braasch, KM Dlugosch - Regis HJ Ferriere, 2019 - repository.arizona.edu
Trait-environment relationships and measurements of genetic diversity are both commonly
used to assess and predict changes in population responses to periods of environmental …
