Experimental data suggest between population reversal in the condition dependence of two sexually selected traits by Gergely Hegyi, Miklós Laczi, Gyula Szabó, Dóra Kötél, Fanni Sarkadi, János Török

“…Both patches are sexually selected in both populations, so the diverging results offer the first experimental suggestion of a trait by population crossover in the information content of two sexual ornaments. We conclude that explaining why some ornaments are condition-dependent is still far ahead, and further, preferably experimental population comparisons would be helpful.…”

Alien species of Ipomoea in Greece, Türkiye and Iran: distribution, impacts and management by Sima Sohrabi, Ayşe Yazlık, Ioannis Bazos, Javid Gherekhloo, Vaya Kati, Yasin Emre Kitiş, Margarita Arianoutsou, Alessandra Kortz, Petr Pyšek

“…The management of Ipomoea species differs according to the habitats invaded; in agricultural areas, the management is more dependent on the host crop and the available registered herbicides, whereas in areas with natural habitats, other management options such as mechanical and biological measures are more appropriate. The information from this work will be useful for the early detection of Ipomoea species in countries neighboring the already invaded ones.…”
