The impact of #polyploidy on the #invasiveness of shrub species remains insufficiently explored. This study takes #Lantanacamara as an example to investigate the role of ploidy in Lantana camara invasion.

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.

Fine-scale spatial heterogeneity, including that introduced by competitors, may play a crucial and previously underappreciated facilitative role in clonal plant success.

Combined plasticity within and between generations can enhance offspring growth in both the clonal invader and its native congener when parental and offspring environments are matched.

When offspring environments are predictable, combined plasticity can improve offspring #Drought adaptation in both species, but the clonal invader benefits more.
