Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by shaping patterns of …

Movement, both within an individual's home range and at the scale of dispersal, is a
fundamental aspect of an animal's life. The field of movement ecology has established a …

In invasive species, geographically variable evolutionary and ecological pressures can
cause the rapid evolution of divergent behavioural phenotypes. Studies on invasive cane …

Individuals at the leading edge of expanding biological invasions often show distinctive
phenotypic traits, in ways that enhance their ability to disperse rapidly and to function …

Invasive species often exhibit rapid evolutionary changes, and can provide powerful insights
into the selective forces shaping phenotypic traits that influence dispersal rates and/or …

Adaptive developmental plasticity allows individuals to match their phenotype with their
environment, increasing fitness where threats are inconsistently present. However, despite …

Understanding the determinants of the range expansion of invasive alien species is crucial
for developing effective prevention and control strategies. Nevertheless, we still lack a global …

The water‐permeable skin of amphibians renders them highly sensitive to climatic
conditions, and interspecific correlations between environmental moisture levels and rates …

Dispersal is a key component of life history that influences individual fitness, population
dynamics and range expansion. Morphological traits that are functionally related to dispersal …

Spatial sorting on invasion fronts drives the evolution of dispersive phenotypes, and in doing
so can push phenotypes in the opposite direction to natural selection. The invasion of cane …
