Aim Analysing how species niches shift between native and introduced ranges is a powerful
tool for understanding the determinants of species distributions and for anticipating range …

Background Structural rearrangements of the genome resulting in genic imbalance due to
copy number change are often deleterious at the organismal level, but are common in …

Abstract Background and Aims Despite the recent wealth of studies targeted at contact
