Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Biologists have recently devoted increasing attention to the role of rapid evolution in species'
responses to environmental change. However, it is still unclear what evolutionary responses …

Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

Biological invasions constitute a major environmental change driver, affecting conservation,
agriculture and human health. Invasive alien species (IAS) impacts include, alterations of …

Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified
crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental …

We identify two processes by which humans increase genetic exchange among groups of
individuals: by affecting the distribution of groups and dispersal patterns across a landscape …

The factors associated with plant species' endangerment and (conversely) invasiveness are
of broad interest due to their potential value in explaining the causes and consequences of …
