Once members of mixed species assemblages, many cattail stands now form dense monocultures

Cattail monocultures as novel ecosystems
High primary productivity
High litter accumulation, soil organic matter content, and soluble nutrients (Tuchman et al. 2009)
Reduced soil surface light and temperature (Larkin et al. 2012)
Elevated sediment microbial community diversity (Angeloni et al. 2006)
Reduced insect herbivore abundance (Penko and Pratt (1987)
Elevated bird abundance (Smith-Cartwright et al. 2011)

Hybridization is attributable to the westward
expansion of the narrow-leaf cattail

. . . but does every cattail invasion involve hybrids, and how can we know for certain?

Patterns of Cattail Hybridization
Hybridization between North American cattails is widespread
Hybrids are fertile, creating the potential for gene introgression
Hybrids are especially dominant (and aggressive) in the western Great Lakes region
Portions of the central Great Lakes region have yet to be colonized by hybrids
Hybridization and introgression are also apparent on the West Coast
. . . And, tentatively, on the Gulf Coast

Hybridization
Due to the fertility of hybrids, the invasion
dynamics of hybrid cattails are complex
Disperal following
further hybridization
and/or backcrossing

Future Directions Develop additional species-diagnostic microsatellite
markers for enhanced detection of introgression
Confirm the reliability of pollen as a low-cost indicator of cattail hybridization

Modeling the spread of non-native cattail by “resistant kernel analysis” Sample cattail pollen from the coast of New England, fanning out to encompass the entire
western Great Lakes
Include lightly populated areas and isolated wetlands in addition to urban areas and disturbance wetlands
Correlate multiple anthropogenic and environmental features with presence/absence of non-native cattail
