Evolution during invasion in common tansy
Phenotypic and genomic divergence between native and invasive Tanacetum vulgare
Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is widespread across its European native range and an aggressive invader in North America. In a common-garden experiment paired with population genomics, we’re asking how the species has evolved during invasion — what traits have shifted, whether shifts are driven by adaptation versus founding-population effects, and how genomic variation in the invasive range compares to the native range.
