Recent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the
dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic …

Eco-evolutionary theory suggests that rapid evolution can accelerate range expansion
speed. In addition to average speed, recent experimental studies reveal that evolution can …

Understanding the movement of species' ranges is a classic ecological problem that takes
on urgency in this era of global change. Historically treated as a purely ecological process …

Genetic variation in dispersal ability may result in the spatial sorting of alleles during range
expansion. Recent theory suggests that spatial sorting can favour the rapid evolution of life …

Predicting the speed of biological invasions and native species migrations requires an
understanding of the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of spreading populations …

Pharmaceuticals are increasingly being detected in aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
Particularly concerning are pharmaceutical pollutants that can adversely impact exposed …

Theory predicts that sexual reproduction is difficult to maintain if asexuality is an option, yet
sex is very common. To understand why, it is important to pay attention to repeatably …

Rising global temperatures threaten to disrupt population sex ratios, which can in turn cause
mate shortages, reduce population growth and adaptive potential, and increase extinction …

Males and females are ecologically distinct in many species, but whether responses to
climate change are sex-specific is unknown. We document sex-specific responses to climate …

Understanding how and why consistent behavioural traits (ie animal personality) vary
between individuals, and identifying the mechanisms that underlie such variation, is a key …
