Trait variation, trade-offs, and attributes may contribute to colonization and range expansion of a globally distributed weed.

Our results suggest that maintaining levels of trait variation in nonnative populations comparable to those in ancestral populations, avoiding trait trade-offs, and developing differences in trait attributes between ranges can play a major role in the success of many weeds in novel environments.
