Xincong Chen et al. investigated variation and covariance in two clonal traits of Spartina alterniflora, an aggressive coastal invader in China, to explore how these traits covary to affect adaptation across latitudes.

Clonal traits covariances were likely to benefit the local adaptation of Spartina alterniflora at low latitudes, and such covariances appeared to be driven by genetic admixture.
