Rapid and genetic differentiati<strong>on</strong>may aid S. alterniflora in being a successful invasivespecies.Although S. anglica arrived in China 16 years earlierthan its seed parent S. alterniflora, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> species has muchlower genetic differentiati<strong>on</strong> in coastal China’s envir<strong>on</strong>ments(Tables 1 and 2). Spartina anglica experienced a geneticbottleneck during its formati<strong>on</strong>, which might have c<strong>on</strong>tributedto its dieback in China as in its native Europe (Gray etal. 1991; Thomps<strong>on</strong> 1991).S. anglica has 120-124 chromosomes while S. alterniflorahas 62 (Gray & Benham 1991). Spartina anglica shouldhave high heterosis and potentially higher adaptability thanei<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r parental species. Spartina anglica has replaced S.maritima in coastal England (Gray et al. 1991). However, S.alterniflora has rapidly occupied previous S. anglica habitatsin China. We suggest that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> species with low populati<strong>on</strong> differentiati<strong>on</strong>(Fst) may be outcompeted by a species with highdifferentiati<strong>on</strong> in changing envir<strong>on</strong>ments like coastal areas<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> China, where accidental typho<strong>on</strong>s, irregular tidal cyclesand human-caused disturbances <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten happen. Fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r, agreater number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> chromosomes or higher genetic diversity(P and H) does not guarantee a higher adaptability and moresuccessful invasi<strong>on</strong> for exotic species. However, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> generality<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this finding needs to be tested fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r in more taxa.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThis study was financially supported by NaturalScientific foundati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> China (No. 30400054), by NKBRSFoundati<strong>on</strong>, China (No. G2000046803) and KSJYXRCFoundati<strong>on</strong>, Ministry <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Educati<strong>on</strong>, China (No. 0208002002).We thank to Dr. Chung-Hsin Chung for his valuable suggesti<strong>on</strong>sand comments.REFERENCESBais, H.P., R.
