Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

Restoring gene flow into small, isolated populations can alleviate genetic load and decrease
extinction risk (ie, genetic rescue), yet gene flow is rarely augmented as a conservation …

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 …

Summary Publication of The Genetics of Colonizing Species in 1965 launched the field of
invasion genetics and highlighted the value of biological invasions as natural ecological and …

Genetic admixture of divergent intraspecific lineages is increasingly suspected to have an
important role in the success of colonising populations. However, admixture is not a …

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 …

Although most studies of factors contributing to successful establishment and spread of non-
native species have focused on species traits and characteristics (both biotic and abiotic) …

Human-mediated species invasions are a significant component of current global
environmental change. There is every indication that the rate at which locations are …

Humans have dramatic, diverse and far-reaching influences on the evolution of other
organisms. Numerous examples of this human-induced contemporary evolution have been …

Current predictions on species responses to climate change strongly rely on projecting
altered environmental conditions on species distributions. However, it is increasingly …
