“…Due to extreme climate and limited accessibility, these cold regions were considered as little impacted by the problem of biological invasions Frenot et al 2005). However, recently many studies revealed the redistribution of the alien plant species in cold mountain regions (Morozova et al 2021;Gulzar et al 2021;Zargar et al 2021;Zargar et al 2023a). During recent oristic surveys in Ladakh, Trans-Himalaya, we have collected specimens of Matricaria discoidea DC.…”

Climate change and biological invasions represent significant drivers of biodiversity loss, and changes in climate and land use can also synergistically influence the naturalization of alien species into new areas. Therefore, reporting the transition of alien plant species along the casual-naturalization-invasion continuum can be crucial to the early detection of alien species and their timely management with lower costs. Here, we report the distribution of the recently naturalized plant species Matricaria discoidea DC. (Pineapple-weed) in Ladakh, a remote region located in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh. We provide a taxonomic description of M. discoidea and photo-illustrations of its distinctive characters for easy field identification. Based on the sampling of communities dominated by M. discoidea, we found it positively associated with plant species that habitat preferences similar to M. discoidea but negatively associated with several native plant species that occurred in the same community. Our findings suggest that this newly naturalized alien species can potentially spread throughout this trans-Himalayan region and may have ecological consequences, including the negative impact on native species diversity in the region.

“…Moreover, following rapid climate change within the past decades, a shift of range limits can be observed in many species [2]. Global warming leads the expansion of species ranges to be most evident in higher latitudes [3]. The rate of plant invasions has also been increasing [4][5][6].…”

Initial Stage of Formation of Spontaneous Invasive Populations of Garden Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl.) at the Northern Limit of Its Secondary Distribution Range in the Veps Forest Nature Park

et al. 2022

A weed plant of the species Lupinus polyphyllus was found in settlements located on the territory of the natural park “Vepssky forest” of the Leningrad region. The plant is known as a transforming species in the southern regions of Russia. The distribution of L. polyphyllus within the Vepsian forest occurs not due to the migration of the species to the north along transport routes, as one might assume, but due to flight from gardens and the formation of spontaneous invasive populations. The goal of the study was to identify the molecular and biochemical characteristics of garden lupine at the northern borders of its secondary range. To interpret the obtained data, the task of the study also included a comparison of intraspecific variability between the “old” invasive populations (in Finland and Central Russia, studied by us earlier) and the “new” naturalizing population of L. polyphyllus in the Vepsian forest. The search for L. polyphyllus localities in the territory of the Vepssky Les natural park was carried out by the route method with geobotanical descriptions of experimental sites (5 m × 5 m). DNA was isolated from eight herbarium specimens of L. polyphyllus (MHA, LE) and fifteen specimens collected in the territory of the natural park “Vepssky Les”. To reveal the internal structure and phylogenetic relationships in lupine populations, networks of nuclear and chloroplast haplotypes and cluster analysis (UPGMA) with the SplitsTree program were used. The total content of polyphenols and flavonoids in the leaves was determined spectrophotometrically. The low inter-locality variability of ITS indicates that the populations of L. polyphyllus in Central Russia and in the North of Russia (St. Petersburg and Vepsskaya Pushcha) have the same origin. Analysis of the chloroplast intergenic spacer (rpl32–trnL) indicates intrapopulation diversity and suggests the presence of microevolutionary processes near the northern limits of the secondary distribution range of L. polyphyllus. The high content of polyphenols and flavonoids in the leaves reveals the adaptive capabilities of lupine in the studied area. Evidence suggests that a neglected species may soon become invasive, as has already happened in other regions.
