Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Eco-evolutionary theory suggests that rapid evolution can accelerate range expansion
speed. In addition to average speed, recent experimental studies reveal that evolution can …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

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 …

Theoretical models pertaining to feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes
are prevalent in multiple biological fields. An integrative overview is currently lacking, due to …

The study of tradeoffs among major life history components (age at maturity, lifespan and
reproduction) allowed the development of a quantitative framework to understand how …

Genetic variation in dispersal ability may result in the spatial sorting of alleles during range
expansion. Recent theory suggests that spatial sorting can favour the rapid evolution of life …

Colonization and expansion into novel landscapes determine the distribution and
abundance of species in our rapidly changing ecosystems worldwide. Colonization events …

The temperature dependence of highly conserved subcellular metabolic systems affects
ecological patterns and processes across scales, from organisms to ecosystems. Population …

Range expansions are central to two ecological issues reshaping patterns of global
biodiversity: biological invasions and climate change. Traditional theory considers range …
