Invasive species that successfully establish, persist, and expand within an area of
introduction, in spite of demographic bottlenecks that reduce their genetic diversity …

In this time of unprecedented global change, infectious diseases will impact humans and
wildlife in novel and unknown ways. Climate change, the introduction of invasive species …

Invasive species are predicted to suffer from reductions in genetic diversity during founding
events, reducing adaptive potential. Integrating evidence from two literature reviews and two …

Biological invaders represent one of the primary threats to the maintenance of global
biodiversity, human health, and the success of human economic enterprises. The continuing …

Defining populations and identifying ecological and life‐history characteristics affecting
genetic structure is important for understanding species biology and hence, for managing …

The social environment is a critical determinant of fitness and, in many taxa, is shaped by an
individual's behavioral discrimination among social contexts, suggesting that animals can …

Divergent selection on traits involved in both local adaptation and the production of mating
signals can strongly facilitate population differentiation. Because of its links to foraging …

The level of genetic diversity within populations of introduced species has received
increasing attention as an important factor influencing their survival and adaptive potential …

The zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is a small Australian grassland songbird that has been
domesticated over the past two centuries. Because it is easy to breed in captivity, it has …

Molecular genetic analyses show that introduced populations undergoing biological
invasions often bring together individuals from genetically disparate native-range source …
