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 …

Hornets are large, predatory wasps that have the potential to alter biotic communities and
harm honey bee colonies once established in non-native locations. Mated, diapausing …

Biological invasions represent an extraordinary opportunity to study evolution. This is
because accidental or deliberate species introductions have taken place for centuries …

A substantial part of biodiversity is thought to have arisen from adaptive radiations in which
one lineage rapidly diversified into multiple lineages specialized to many different niches …

Population genomic analyses can reveal the mechanisms shaping the evolution of
colonizing and invasive taxa, as for any species, including the fundamental processes of …

Partial clonality is widespread across the tree of life, but most population genetic models are
designed for exclusively clonal or sexual organisms. This gap hampers our understanding of …

Genomic approaches are increasingly being used to study biological invasions. Here, we
first analyse how high-throughput sequencing has aided our understanding of the …

Accurately characterizing the provenance and genetic diversity of non-native populations
aids the management of biotic invasions because population-level genetic diversity is …

The emerging field of invasion genetics examines the genetic causes and consequences of
biological invasions, but few study systems are available that integrate deep ecological …

Two alien species in Europe, Impatiens glandulifera and I. balfourii, are closely related, have
similar growth rates and reproductive capacities, and are very attractive to pollinators …
