Something in the way you move: dispersal pathways affect invasion success
Biological invasions are caused by human-mediated extra-range dispersal and, unlike
natural extra-range dispersal, are often the result of multiple introductions from multiple …

The “Polyploid Hop”: shifting challenges and opportunities over the evolutionary lifespan of genome duplications
The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …

An evolutionary epigenetic clock in plants
Molecular clocks are the basis for dating the divergence between lineages over
macroevolutionary timescales (~ 105 to 108 years). However, classical DNA-based clocks …

History, chance and adaptation during biological invasion: separating stochastic phenotypic evolution from response to selection
Introduced species often exhibit changes in genetic variation, population structure, selection
regime and phenotypic traits as they colonize and expand into new ranges. For these …
