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

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of
ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to …

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 …

Invasion ecology has grown to include scientists with diverse skill sets who focus on a range
of taxa and biomes. These researchers have the capacity to contribute to practical …

The importance of dispersal rates and distances has long been appreciated by ecologists
and evolutionary biologists. An emerging field of research is revealing how temporal …

Movement is critical for the fitness of organisms, both large and small. It dictates how
individuals acquire resources, evade predators, exchange genetic material, and respond to …

Introduced and geographically expanding populations experience similar eco‐evolutionary
challenges, including founder events, genetic bottlenecks, and novel environments. Theory …

Contemporary evolution has the potential to significantly alter biotic responses to global
change, including range expansion dynamics and biological invasions. Models predicting …

Species' range edges are expanding to both warmer and cooler regions. Yet, no studies
directly compared the changes in range‐limiting traits within the same species during both …

Anthropogenic changes have altered the historical distributions of many North American
taxa. As environments shift, ecological and evolutionary processes can combine in complex …
