Bottlenecks in population size can reduce fitness and evolutionary potential, yet introduced
species often become invasive. This poses a dilemma referred to as the genetic paradox of …

The influence of genetic variation on invasion success has captivated researchers since the
start of the field of invasion genetics 50 years ago. We review the history of work on this …

The process by which a species becomes a biological invader, at a location where it does
not naturally occur, can be divided into a series of sequential stages (transport, introduction …

Setting aside high-quality large areas of habitat to protect threatened populations is
becoming increasingly difficult as humans fragment and degrade the environment …

Colonization and expansion into novel landscapes determine the distribution and
abundance of species in our rapidly changing ecosystems worldwide. Colonization events …

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

Biological invasions, the establishment and spread of non‐native species in new regions,
can have extensive economic and environmental consequences. Increased global …

Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium have been utilised as informative study systems for over
a century and contributed to major advances across many fields. This review serves to …

Range expansions are central to two ecological issues reshaping patterns of global
biodiversity: biological invasions and climate change. Traditional theory considers range …

Genetic admixture, the intraspecific hybridization among divergent introduced sources, can
immediately facilitate colonization via hybrid vigor and profoundly enhance invasion via …
