Dr Daniel Montesinos is a Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Tropical Herbarium, at James Cook University in Cairns. He is studying weeds to better understand (among other things) how they might respond to climate change.
He said most invasive plants are characterised by their rapid pace when it comes to taking up nutrients, growing, and reproducing - and they re even faster in the regions they invade. New experiments comparing populations from distant regions show a clear trend for already-fast invasive plants to rapidly adapt even faster traits in their non-native regions, Dr Montesinos said.
This is further pronounced in the tropics and sub-tropics.

CMW takes a deep dive into the Great Barrier Reef and checks out the improving offer in Cairns
As New Zealand and Australia opened up a travel bubble in October, maybe there is some Antipodean light emerging at the end of the dark corona tunnel.
In normal times, Cairns & Great Barrier Reef presents meeting planners with a combination of sustainable, first-class facilities and operators amid an amazing natural world.
The area has twin World Heritage-listed icons, the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest – natural delegate boosters for any event. The international airport is located 10 minutes from the centre of Cairns and in a normal year it handles up to five million travellers. In August the A$55m T2 Domestic Terminal upgrade was completed.
