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 …

Human‐mediated species introductions offer opportunities to investigate when and how non‐native
species to adapt to novel environments, and whether evolution has the potential to …

The influence of genetic variation on invasion success has captivated researchers since the
start of the field of invasion genetics 50 years ago. We review the history of work on this …

As grassland habitats become degraded, declines in juvenile and adult food resources may
limit populations of rare insects. Fender's blue butterfly (Icaricia icarioides fenderi), a species …

Invasive and endangered species reflect opposite ends of a spectrum of ecological success,
yet they experience many similar eco-evolutionary challenges including demographic …

Non-native plants are now a pervasive feature of ecosystems across the globe 1. One hypothesis
for this pattern is that introduced species occupy open niches in recipient communities …

Recent increases in the production of genomic data are yielding new opportunities and
challenges for biologists. Among the chief problems posed by next-generation sequencing are …

Background The ability to efficiently characterize microbial communities from host individuals
can be limited by co-amplification of host organellar sequences (mitochondrial and/or …

The genetic basis of weedy and invasive traits and their evolution remain poorly understood,
but genomic approaches offer tremendous promise for elucidating these important features …

Identifying sources of genetic variation and reconstructing invasion routes for non‐native
introduced species is central to understanding the circumstances under which they may evolve …
