Differential photosynthetic yield across a wide range of temperatures for Northern and invasive Watermilfoils by Natalie M. Moses, Ryan M. Wersal, Christopher T. Ruhland

“…Eurasian watermilfoil has hybridized with the native Northern watermilfoil (Myriophyllum sibiricum), creating a more complex issue when it comes to invasions. The hybridization of watermilfoil has increased difficulty for management and an underlying biological mechanism explaining this difficulty has yet to be determined. …”
