Plant phenology, i. e. the timing of life cycle events, is related to
individual fitness and species distribution ranges. Among the
environmental factors, phenology is mostly driven by temperature and day
length. Rapid adaptation of their phenology may also be important for the
success of invasive plant species. Our main aim was to understand how the
performance, timing, and temperature dependence of the phenology of the
invasive legume Lupinus polyphyllus varies with latitude. L. polyphyllus
is one of the most frequent invasive species in Europe, and the gained
information may help to make management more effective by adjustments to
latitude and phenology.
