Summary Publication of The Genetics of Colonizing Species in 1965 launched the field of
invasion genetics and highlighted the value of biological invasions as natural ecological and …

A diverse array of molecular markers and constantly evolving analytical approaches have
been employed to reconstruct the invasion histories of the most notorious invasions …

Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists
for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Like many other flowering plants, members of the Compositae
(Asteraceae) have a polyploid ancestry. Previous analyses found evidence for an ancient …

One of the most exciting recent developments in the field of invasion biology has been the
growing realisation that evolution can determine invasive species' success. Here, we review …

Neutral genetic diversity gradients have long been used to infer the colonization history of
species [1, 2], but range expansion may also influence the efficacy of natural selection and …

Predicting fitness in natural populations is a major challenge in biology. It may be possible to
leverage fast-accumulating genomic data sets to infer the fitness effects of mutant alleles …

Through the widespread implementation of next-generation sequencing (NGS), analyses of
the whole genome (the entire DNA content) and the whole transcriptome (the genes being …

Invasion success of species introduced to novel environments may be facilitated by adaptive
evolution and by phenotypic plasticity. Here we investigate the independent and joint …

The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the fine
scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion …
