The successful establishment and expansion of invasive species may be linked to the
behavior and dispersal tendency of individuals within an introduced population. To test the …

Few studies have systematically investigated differences in performance, morphology and
parasitic load of invaders at different stages of an invasion. This study analyzed phenotype …

Limiting the prevalence of invasive species is a global conservation priority. Invasive
species can have varying ecosystem effects and responses to control throughout an invaded …

Successful reproduction of non-native species is a critical step in the invasion process,
influencing establishment and spread. Predicting invasive species' reproduction is often …

Few studies have systematically investigated mid-or long-term temporal changes of
biological characteristics in invasive alien species considering the different phases of an …

Snakes introduced to islands can be devastating to naïve native fauna. However, introduced
populations must establish before range expansion (invasion) can occur. The factors that …

One of the most successful invasive fish species with negative impacts is round goby
Neogobius melanostomus that has spread from its original Ponto-Caspian area to west and …

The virulence of a pathogen can vary strongly through time. While cyclical variation in
virulence is regularly observed, directional shifts in virulence are less commonly observed …

Blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus is an invasive species in many lakes and coastal rivers of the
eastern United States. Due to high population densities and negative effects on native …

The dynamic shifts in life history traits by non-native populations at an invasion front may be
driven by a combination of phenotypic plasticity and micro-evolutionary processes, allowing …
