Differences between native European and non-native U.S. populations of Lythrum salicaria L.
Original language description
A common garden experiment was conducted over three growing seasons at Třeboň, Czech Republic. The experiment measured flower phenology, competitive ability, and susceptibility to herbivory of the U.S. and European populations. The EICA hypothesis predicts that the non-native population should be more competitive, but also more susceptible to herbivory, than native populations of the same species: these were the hypotheses of this study. Native European plants flowered up to three weeks earlier than theU.S. plants, but the differences were significant only in higher nutrient treatments and only for one of the European populations. There were few differences in susceptibility to herbivory, measured as the number of times plants were attacked by insectherbivores, and competitive ability, measured indirectly as stem number per plant. The results of this study do not agree with the predictions of the EICA hypothesis.
