Phenotypic variation in germination and phenological traits can enhance the invasive potential of alien weeds by promoting establishment across heterogeneous environments. Solanum rostratum Dunal (buffalobur), a prickly annual species native to Mexico, has become invasive in several regions worldwide, yet little is known about the mechanisms underlying its spread in the Mediterranean Basin. We evaluated variation among seven Israeli populations in seed morphology, germination under different tem  ...[more]
