Over 100 years of studies in Drosophila melanogaster and related species in the genus
Drosophila have facilitated key discoveries in genetics, genomics, and evolution. While high …

Studies of invasive species can simultaneously inform management strategies and quantify
rapid evolution in the wild. The role of genomics in invasion science is increasingly …

Despite the huge human and economic costs of invasive insects, which are the main group
of invasive species, their environmental impacts through various mechanisms remain …

Evolutionary theory predicts that adaptations, including antibiotic resistance, should come
with associated fitness costs; yet, many resistance mutations seemingly contradict this …

Background Biological invasions are responsible for substantial environmental and
economic losses. The red turpentine beetle (RTB), Dendroctonus valens LeConte, is an …

Eco-evolutionary dynamics will play a critical role in determining species' fates as climatic
conditions change. Unfortunately, we have little understanding of how rapid evolutionary …

Adaptive evolution following colonization can affect the impact of invasive species. The fall
webworm (FWW) invaded China 40 years ago through a single introduction event involving …

Introduced populations of invasive organisms have to cope with novel environmental
challenges, while having reduced genetic variation caused by founder effects. The …

Evolutionary rescue can prevent populations from declining under climate change, and
should be more likely at high-latitude,“leading” edges of species' ranges due to greater …

How invasive species cope with novel selective pressures with limited genetic variation is a
fundamental question in molecular ecology. Several mechanisms have been proposed, but …
