Abstract
Wetlands around the world face unprecedented threats, including from invasive species. In North America, the invasive cattail hybrid Typha x glauca dominates wetlands around the Laurentian Great Lakes; more recently it was found in high abundance across the central and eastern Prairie Pothole Region, an area that includes one of the world’s largest wetland complexes. Surveys of the Typha hybrid zone have so far been largely conducted in areas where hybrids are well established, and it therefore remains unclear whether the range expansion of this invasive hybrid occurs after the establishment of its maternal species, T. angustifolia. We surveyed 50 wetlands in the western PPR and found that while 75% of plants were native T. latifolia, the second most common group was F1 hybrids, which had greater abundance and occupancy than T. angustifolia despite the fact that T. angustifolia produces relatively few hybrid seeds; our findings therefore highlight the importance of long-distance dispersal for this hybrid range expansion. The distribution of hybrids combined with the paucity of non-F1 hybrids suggest that the western PPR represents a leading edge of the range expansion by invasive T. × glauca. Our results show that T. × glauca has the capacity for continued range expansion that does not rely on the presence of T. angustifolia, and the impacts of this range expansion should be monitored because of its potential to impede ecosystem services and reduce local biodiversity.
入侵杂交香蒲 Typha × glauca 在北美西部草原洼地地区的分布范围超过了母本植物 T. angustifolia 的分布范围
世界各地的湿地都面临着前所未有的威胁,包括来自入侵物种的威胁。在北美洲,入侵的香蒲杂交种 Typha x glauca 支配着劳伦森五大湖周围的湿地;最近,在中部和东部的草原洼地地区发现了大量这种杂交种,该地区包括世界上最大的湿地群之一。迄今为止,对Typha杂交区的调查主要是在杂交种已经成熟的地区进行的,因此这种入侵性杂交种的分布范围是否会在其母本T. angustifolia成熟之后扩大,目前仍不清楚。我们调查了太平洋次区域西部的 50 个湿地,发现虽然 75% 的植物是本地的 T. latifolia,但第二大类是 F1 代杂交种,尽管 T. angustifolia 产生的杂交种子相对较少,但它们的丰度和占有率都高于 T. angustifolia;因此,我们的研究结果突出了长距离传播对这种杂交种分布范围扩大的重要性。杂交种的分布加上非F1杂交种的稀少表明,西部泛太平洋区域是入侵的T.我们的研究结果表明,T. × glauca有能力不依赖T. angustifolia的存在而继续扩大范围,由于其有可能阻碍生态系统服务并减少当地生物多样性,因此应监测这种范围扩大的影响。
期刊介绍:
Biological Invasions publishes research and synthesis papers on patterns and processes of biological invasions in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine (including brackish) ecosystems. Also of interest are scholarly papers on management and policy issues as they relate to conservation programs and the global amelioration or control of invasions. The journal will consider proposals for special issues resulting from conferences or workshops on invasions.There are no page charges to publish in this journal.
