The study of population genetics of invasive species offers opportunities to investigate rapid
evolutionary processes at work, and while the ecology of biological invasions has enjoyed …

Both phenotypic plasticity and locally adapted ecotypes may contribute to the success of
invasive species in a wide range of habitats. Here, we conducted common garden …

What factors shape the evolution of invasive populations? Recent theoretical and empirical
studies suggest that an evolutionary history of disturbance might be an important factor. This …

The level of genetic diversity within populations of introduced species has received
increasing attention as an important factor influencing their survival and adaptive potential …

The rate at which plant invasions occur is accelerating globally, and a growing amount of
recent research uses genetic analysis of invasive plant populations to better understand the …

Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an important adaptive strategy for clonal plants
in heterogeneous habitats. Increased phenotypic plasticity can be especially beneficial for …

Abstract The Eurasian round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Apollonia melanostoma)
invaded the North American Great Lakes in 1990 through ballast water, spread rapidly, and …

Understanding the diverging opinions of academic experts, stakeholders and the public is
important for effective conservation management. This is especially so when a consensus is …

Hybridization between genetically distinct populations of a single species can serve as an
important stimulus for the evolution of invasiveness. Such intraspecific hybridization was …

Among the most successful Lessepsian invaders is the symbiont-bearing benthic
foraminifera Amphistegina lobifera. In its newly conquered habitat, this prolific calcifier and …
