Cold temperatures have been posited as a key driver of polyploidy (possession of multiple chromosome sets). However, high temperatures associated with fire, and the indirect impact of post-fire environments in polypoid formation and establishment deserve more attention for a comprehensive understanding of polyploid ecology, evolution, and current distributions.
