Although most studies of factors contributing to successful establishment and spread of non-
native species have focused on species traits and characteristics (both biotic and abiotic) …

Detailed knowledge about the geographical pathways followed by propagules from their
source to the invading populations—referred to here as routes of invasion—provides …

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 invasions are caused by human-mediated extra-range dispersal and, unlike
natural extra-range dispersal, are often the result of multiple introductions from multiple …

Many emerging invasive species display evidence of rapid adaptation. Contemporary
genetic studies demonstrate that adaptation to novel environments can occur within 20 …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Ambrosia artemisiifolia
L.(Common ragweed) that are relevant to understanding its ecology. The main topics are …

Concerns over the ecological impacts of invasive alien plant species have generated great
research interest in understanding the mechanisms that underlie the capacity of such plants …

Studies of bioinvasions have revealed various strategies of invasion, depending on the
ecosystem invaded and the alien species concerned. Here, we consider how migration (as a …

There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of
biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked. So far, the focus of ecological …

Invasive species are a key driver of the global biodiversity crisis, but the drivers of
invasiveness, including the role of pathogens, remain debated. We investigated the genomic …
