Novel environmental conditions experienced by introduced species can drive rapid
evolution of diverse traits. In turn, rapid evolution, both adaptive and non‐adaptive, can …

Abstract Theory predicts rapid genetic drift during invasions, yet many expanding
populations maintain high genetic diversity. We find that genetic drift is dramatically …

The box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis, is an invasive insect that has rapidly colonised
Europe, damaging to natural and ornamental box trees. In its native habitat in China, the …

Range expansions are key processes sha** the distribution of species; their ecological
and evolutionary dynamics have become especially relevant today, as human influence …

Understanding the dynamics of biological invasions is crucial for managing numerous
phenomena, from invasive species to tumors. While the Allee effect (where individuals in low …

Predation often deviates from the law of mass action: many micro‐and meso‐scale
experiments have shown that consumption saturates with resource abundance, and …

Identifying the factors modulating range expansion is essential to accurately predict changes
in the spatial distribution of populations. By preventing population growth after dispersal …

Demographic processes that occur at the local level, such as positive density dependence in
growth or dispersal, are known to shape population range expansion, notably by linking …

While species ranges have always moved, the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
range expansions have become especially relevant today, as human influence reshapes …

Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of range expansions are shaped by both dispersal
and population growth. Accordingly, density-dependence in either dispersal or growth can …
