A major challenge of invasion biology is the development of a predictive framework that
prevents new invasions. This is inherently difficult because different biological …

It is well established that a decrease in genetic variation can lead to reduced fitness and lack
of adaptability to a changing environment. Amphibians are declining on a global scale, and …

Invasive species are predicted to suffer from reductions in genetic diversity during founding
events, reducing adaptive potential. Integrating evidence from two literature reviews and two …

In Alien Species and Evolution, biologist George W. Cox reviews and synthesizes emerging
information on the evolutionary changes that occur in plants, animals, and microbial …

Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

The literature on biological invasions has principally focused on understanding the
ecological controls and consequences of invasions. Invading populations, however, often …

Microevolution may determine both the safety and efficacy of classical biological control.
Despite a growing body of literature, there are several key unanswered questions regarding …

Urban development is a major cause of habitat loss and fragmentation. Few studies,
however, have dealt with fragmentation in an urban landscape. In this paper, we examine …

Inferring the spatial expansion dynamics of invading species from molecular data is
notoriously difficult due to the complexity of the processes involved. For these demographic …
