Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental
populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach …

Bottlenecks in population size can reduce fitness and evolutionary potential, yet introduced
species often become invasive. This poses a dilemma referred to as the genetic paradox of …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Detailed knowledge about the geographical pathways followed by propagules from their
source to the invading populations—referred to here as routes of invasion—provides …

There is mounting evidence that reduced genetic diversity in invasive populations is not as
commonplace as expected. Recent studies indicate that high propagule vectors, such as …

Synergies between global change and biological invasion have been identified as a major
potential threat to global biodiversity and human welfare. The global change-type drought …

Common garden studies are increasingly used to identify differences in phenotypic traits
between native and introduced genotypes, often ignoring sources of among‐population …

What factors shape the evolution of invasive populations? Recent theoretical and empirical
studies suggest that an evolutionary history of disturbance might be an important factor. This …

The ability of populations to expand their geographical ranges, whether as invaders,
agricultural strains or climate migrants, is currently one of the most serious global problems …

The role of epistasis in driving adaptation has remained an unresolved problem dating back
to the Evolutionary Synthesis. In particular, whether epistatic interactions among genes …
