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 …

Biological invasions present a global problem underlain by an ecological paradox that
thwarts explanation: how do some exotic species, evolutionarily naïve to their new …

Understanding what determines range expansion or extinction is crucial to predict the
success of biological invaders. We tackled this long-standing question from an unparalleled …

Biological invasions are a major cause of environmental and economic disruption. While
ecological factors are key determinants of their success, the role of genetics has been more …

The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas)(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is native to
Asia but has been intentionally introduced to many countries as a biological control agent of …

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 …

Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …

Invasion science is a very active subdiscipline of ecology. However, some scientists contend
that theoretical integration has been limited and that predictive power remains weak. This …

Alien species are a major component of human-induced environmental change. Variation in
the numbers of alien species found in different areas is likely to depend on a combination of …

Human travel and global trade have tremendously increased the spread of invasive
microorganisms in new regions. Experimental and observational studies in terrestrial …
