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 …

If habitat destruction or overexploitation of populations is severe, species loss can occur
directly and abruptly. Yet the final descent to extinction is often driven by synergistic …

Now that so many ecosystems face rapid and major environmental change, the ability of
species to respond to these changes by dispersing or moving between different patches of …

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 …

Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

Allee effects are an important dynamic phenomenon believed to be manifested in several
population processes, notably extinction and invasion. Though widely cited in these …

Recent biological invasions provide opportunities to investigate microevolution during
contemporary timescales. The tempo and scope of local adaptation will be determined by …

In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
view. We define 'mate-finding'as mate searching in mobile animals, and also as the meeting …

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 …

Many alien weeds pose significant environmental and/or economic threats across the globe,
and methods to assess the potential risk of species introductions are key components in the …
