Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

Understanding the movement of species' ranges is a classic ecological problem that takes
on urgency in this era of global change. Historically treated as a purely ecological process …

Dispersal—the movement of an individual from the site of birth to a different site for
reproduction—is an ecological and evolutionary driver of species ranges that shapes …

Studies on oceanic island biodiversity have been the foundation for much theoretical work.
However, seamounts are mostly underexplored, and little information is available about their …

The Quaternary climatic oscillations are expected to have had strong impacts on the
evolution of species. Although legacies of the Quaternary climates on population processes …

Highlights•Insect range shifts vary widely in rates and consequences.•Incorporating eco-
evolutionary dynamics is essential to understand this variation.•Temporal and spatial …

Our ability to understand population spread dynamics is complicated by rapid evolution,
which renders simple ecological models insufficient. If dispersal ability evolves, more highly …

Fungi expand in space and time to form complex multicellular communities. The
mechanisms by which they do so can vary dramatically and determine the life-history and …

Rapid evolution during range expansion is a key mechanism influencing species' ability to
colonize new habitat. Understanding how selective processes alter expansion speed is thus …

As human influence reshapes communities worldwide, many species expand or shift their
ranges as a result, with extensive consequences across levels of biological organization …
