Range Shifts in the Worldwide Expansion of <i>Oenothera drummondii</i> subsp. <i>drummondii</i>, a Plant Species of Coastal Dunes

<i>Oenothera drummondii</i> is a coastal dunes plant species from the North American continent that has affected the natural structure and dynamics of Spanish, Israeli, and Chinese shores as an invasive species. In South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and France, it is reported as a nat...
