We seek to understand the potential genetic impact of introduced species in an ecosystem
where conservation efforts and pressure from development co-occur: the Galápagos …

Successful invasive species can overcome or circumvent the potential genetic loss caused
by an introduction bottleneck through a rapid population expansion and admixture from …

The challenge of maintaining genetic diversity within populations can be exacerbated for
island endemics if they display population dynamics and behavioral attributes that expose …

Together with reduction in habitat area and quality, reduction in habitat connectivity is one of
the major factors influencing species' persistence in fragmented landscapes. We explore the …

Species invasions of the Galapagos Islands is the number one threat to its endemic
biodiversity. The Galapagos Islands support important human settlements, which combined …

Nuclear sequence data were collected from endemic Galápagos species and an introduced
close relative, and contrasted with mitochondrial DNA sequences, continuing investigation …

The introduction of non-native species into new habitats is one of the foremost risks to global
biodiversity. Here, we evaluate a recent invasion of wild tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium) …

The threat of invasive plant species in island populations prompts the need to better
understand their population genetics and dynamics. In the Galapagos islands, this is …

Archipelago island fauna include some of the most compelling examples of parallel
adaptation to ecological gradients. However, despite the insuslar nature of these systems …

Mitochondrial DNA sequence data were obtained for eight species of flightless
Galapaganus endemic weevils and one winged close relative in order to study their …
