Detailed knowledge about the geographical pathways followed by propagules from their
source to the invading populations—referred to here as routes of invasion—provides …

There is mounting evidence that reduced genetic diversity in invasive populations is not as
commonplace as expected. Recent studies indicate that high propagule vectors, such as …

Invasive species are predicted to suffer from reductions in genetic diversity during founding
events, reducing adaptive potential. Integrating evidence from two literature reviews and two …

A genetic paradox, exists in invasion biology: how do introduced populations, whose genetic
variation has probably been depleted by population bottlenecks, persist and adapt to new …

A diverse array of molecular markers and constantly evolving analytical approaches have
been employed to reconstruct the invasion histories of the most notorious invasions …

Released as a biological control agent of aphids and coccids, Harmonia axyridis
(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has spread from Asia to four additional continents. Since 1988 …

Studies of bioinvasions have revealed various strategies of invasion, depending on the
ecosystem invaded and the alien species concerned. Here, we consider how migration (as a …

There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of
biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked. So far, the focus of ecological …

We show that the globally invasive, human-infectious flatworm, Haplorchis pumilio,
possesses the most physically specialized soldier caste yet documented in trematodes …

Biological invasions represent major threats to biodiversity [1] as well as large-scale
evolutionary experiments [2]. Invasive populations have provided some of the best known …
