Evolution is the hallmark of life. Descriptions of the evolution of microorganisms have
provided a wealth of information, but knowledge regarding “what happened” has precluded …

Environmental disturbance underpins the dynamics and diversity of many of the ecosystems
of the world, yet its influence on the patterns and distribution of genetic diversity is poorly …

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented
level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world …

We investigate the effect of spatial range expansions on the evolution of fitness when
beneficial and deleterious mutations cosegregate. We perform individual‐based simulations …

A central question in evolutionary biology is why some species have more genetic diversity
than others and a no less important question is why selection efficacy varies among species …

The geographic ranges of ticks and tick-borne pathogens are changing due to global and
local environmental (including climatic) changes. In this review we explore current …

Expanding populations incur a mutation burden–the so‐called expansion load. Previous
studies of expansion load have focused on codominant mutations. An important …

Range expansions are central to two ecological issues resha** patterns of global
biodiversity: biological invasions and climate change. Traditional theory considers range …

Background Invasive species represent a global concern for their rapid spread and the
possibility of infectious disease transmission. This is the case of the global invader Aedes …

Eco-evolutionary theory suggests that rapid evolution can accelerate range expansion
speed. In addition to average speed, recent experimental studies reveal that evolution can …
