Almost three decades ago Alec Jeffreys published his seminal Nature papers on the use of
minisatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting of humans (Jeffreys and colleagues Nature 1985 …

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 …

Global change is driving a massive rearrangement of the world's biota. Trajectories of
distributional shifts are shaped by species traits, the recipient environment and driving forces …

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

Sea level rise elicits short‐and long‐term changes in coastal plant communities by altering
the physical conditions that affect ecosystem processes and species distributions. While the …

Abstract Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, Anacardiaceae) was

Background The invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, is the most recently detected pest
ant and the first known invasive ant able to become established and thrive in the temperate …

Evolution has contributed to the successful invasion of exotic plant species in their
introduced ranges, but how evolution affects particular control strategies is still under …

Classical biological control of weeds depends on finding agents that are highly host-specific.
This requires not only correctly understanding the identity of the target plant, sometimes to …
