Fragmentation—the process by which habitats are transformed into smaller patches isolated
from each other—has been identified as a major threat for biodiversity. Fragmentation has …

Dispersal, the tendency for organisms to reproduce away from their parents, influences
many evolutionary and ecological processes, from speciation and extinction events, to the …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

Although generations of researchers have studied the factors that limit the distributions of
species, we still do not seem to understand this phenomenon comprehensively …

The successful establishment and expansion of invasive species may be linked to the
behavior and dispersal tendency of individuals within an introduced population. To test the …

Understanding biological range expansions and invasions is of great ecological and
economical interest. Importantly, spatial dynamics can be deeply affected by rapid evolution …

Local adaptation and dispersal evolution are key evolutionary processes sha** the
invasion dynamics of populations colonizing new environments. Yet their interaction is …

With ongoing global change, life is continuously forced to move to novel areas, which leads
to dynamically changing species ranges. As dispersal is central to range dynamics, factors …

Rapid range expansion of invasive plants provides a unique opportunity to explore
evolutionary changes of dispersal‐related traits during the invasion process. Increasing …

Predicting the evolution of expanding populations is critical to controlling biological threats
such as invasive species and cancer metastasis. Expansion is primarily driven by …
