Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Recent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the
dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic …

Concerns over the ecological impacts of invasive alien plant species have generated great
research interest in understanding the mechanisms that underlie the capacity of such plants …

I elaborate an hypothesis to explain inconsistent empirical findings comparing phenotypic
plasticity in colonizing populations or species with plasticity from their native or ancestral …

Mean surface temperatures have increased globally by~ 0.7 C per century since 1900 and
0.16 C per decade since 1970 (Levinson and Fettig 2014). Most of this warming is believed …

Predicting the speed of biological invasions and native species migrations requires an
understanding of the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of spreading populations …

Theory predicts that native plant species should exhibit latitudinal gradients in the strength of
their interactions with herbivores. We hypothesize that if an invasive plant species exhibits a …

摘要生物入侵是生态学研究的热点问题. 近年来, 诸多研究在入侵机理及入侵后效等方面取得一
系列进展. 在全球变化背景下, 外来生物凸显出形式更为多样的入侵过程并为入侵生态学带来新 …

The evolutionary trajectories associated with demographic, genetic and spatial
disequilibrium have become an issue of growing interest in population biology. Invasive …

Local adaptation has been suggested to play an important role in range expansion,
particularly among invasive species. However, the extent to which local adaptation affects …
