Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly using big-data approaches to tackle
questions at large spatial, taxonomic, and temporal scales. However, despite recent efforts …

The process of biological invasion exposes a species to novel pressures, in terms of both
the environments it encounters and the evolutionary consequences of range expansion …

Through eight successful editions, and over nearly 40 years, Biogeography: An Ecological
and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the …

Accurate forecasts of biological invasions are crucial for managing invasion risk but are
hampered by niche shifts resulting from evolved environmental tolerances (fundamental …

In invasive species, geographically variable evolutionary and ecological pressures can
cause the rapid evolution of divergent behavioural phenotypes. Studies on invasive cane …

Widespread introduced species can be leveraged to investigate the genetic, ecological and
adaptive processes underlying rapid evolution and range expansion, particularly the …

Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is a type of phenotypic plasticity that allows ectotherms to
quickly enhance cold tolerance in response to brief chilling (lasting minutes to hours). In this …

Climate change is dramatically altering the distribution and abundance of many species. An
examination of traits may elucidate why some species respond more strongly to climate …

The processes that lead to a successful invasion are complex. Here, we investigated life
history characteristics potentially explaining the invasion success of Potamopyrgus …

Invasive species often exhibit rapid evolutionary changes, and can provide powerful insights
into the selective forces shaping phenotypic traits that influence dispersal rates and/or …
