Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Biological invasions are 'natural'experiments that can improve our understanding of
contemporary evolution. We evaluate evidence for population differentiation, natural …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is the most promising insect candidate
for nutrient-recycling through bioconversion of organic waste into biomass, thereby …

Mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti, are becoming important models for studying invasion
biology. We characterized genetic variation at 12 microsatellite loci in 79 populations of Ae …

Studies of invasive species can simultaneously inform management strategies and quantify
rapid evolution in the wild. The role of genomics in invasion science is increasingly …

The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, is set to become the most economically
devastating crop pest in the world, threatening food security and biosafety as its range …

Background As global climate change and exponential human population growth intensifies
pressure on agricultural systems, the need to effectively manage invasive insect pests is …
