DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02269-7
Abstract: Understanding the drivers of invasive species’ range expansion is key to effective management and successful control. Spatial sorting theory advances that invasive species can spread via a selection-neutral process predicated on differential movement. In addition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/712059
Abstract: Thermal performance of immunity has been relatively understudied in ectotherms, especially in the context of invasive species or in relation to other fitness-related traits and thermoregulatory patterns in the field. For reptiles, thermal biology is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0339
Abstract: As a colonizing species expands its range, individuals at the invasion front experience different evolutionary pressures than do those at the range-core. For example, low densities at the edge of the range mean that males… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.1964
Abstract: As is common in biological invasions, the rate at which cane toads (Rhinella marina) have spread across tropical Australia has accelerated through time. Individuals at the invasion front travel further than range-core conspecifics and exhibit… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14005
Abstract: Aim: Invasive species are an ideal system for testing geographic differences in performance traits and measuring evolutionary responses as a species spreads across divergent climates and habitats. The European gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar dispar L.… read more here.
