Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

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 …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Although FST is widely used as a measure of population structure, it has been criticized
recently because of its dependency on within‐population diversity. This dependency can …

Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection
relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing …

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 …

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 …

There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

Levels of genetic differentiation between populations can be highly variable across the
genome, with divergent selection contributing to such heterogeneous genomic divergence …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …
