Abstract
Polyploid is widespread in angiosperms and is recognised as an important step in their evolutionary diversification. However, the mechanisms of establishment of polyploid plants are not well understood, especially the effects of the spatial dispersal of pollen and seed, and of habitat heterogeneity, on initial establishment and spread. The project aims to develop a stochastic simulation model for studying the establishment and spread of polyploid plants in heterogeneous habitats. The model will provide a means of studying and understanding aspects of the spatial and temporal population genetics of polyploid plants.
