The recent discovery of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, JE Smith) in Africa presents a
significant threat to that continent's food security. The species exhibits several traits in the …

Biodiversity can increase in both high‐and low‐connected landscapes. However, we lack
predictions related to biodiversity dynamics when accounting for the temporal heterogeneity …

Landscape composition and structure may strongly affect the spread of invasive species in
landscapes. Landscape analysis provides a powerful toolset for assessing invasive species …

Background Understanding how behavioural dynamics, inter-individual variability and
individual interactions scale-up to shape the spatial spread and dispersal of animal …

Range expansions are key processes sha** the distribution of species; their ecological
and evolutionary dynamics have become especially relevant today, as human influence …

Context With accelerated land-use change throughout the world, increased understanding
of the relative effects of landscape composition and configuration on biological system and …

Why do some species successfully invade new environments? Which of these invasive
species will alter or even reshape their new environment? The answers to these questions …

During the early stages of invasion, the interaction between the features of the invaded
landscape, notably its spatial structure, and the internal dynamics of an introduced …

Finding general patterns in the expansion of natural populations is a major challenge in
ecology and invasion biology. Classical spatio-temporal models predict that the carrying …
