Evolutionary responses to global change: lessons from invasive species
EV Moran, JM Alexander - Ecology Letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Biologists have recently devoted increasing attention to the role of rapid evolution in species'
responses to environmental change. However, it is still unclear what evolutionary responses …

High genetic diversity is not essential for successful introduction
Some introduced populations thrive and evolve despite the presumed loss of diversity at
introduction. We aimed to quantify the amount of genetic diversity retained at introduction in …
