DOI: 10.1007/s10530-019-02111-9
Abstract: Understanding shifts in traits across the course of an invasion can significantly increase our understanding of mechanisms underpinning range expansion. For example, shifts to traits associated with faster growth may be advantageous in range edge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108732
Abstract: Abstract High-latitude countries tend to contain the polar range-edge of many species that are nationally rare but globally common. This can focus national conservation efforts toward range-edge populations, whose conservation needs and value are disputed.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.11.024
Abstract: Abstract It is still a matter of debate how reproductive and genetic characteristics of range-edge populations differ from those central to its range, yet this is important for future changes in species’ ranges. Here we… read more here.

Maintenance of Adaptive Dynamics and No Detectable Load in a Range-Edge Outcrossing Plant Population

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa322
Abstract: Abstract During range expansion, edge populations are expected to face increased genetic drift, which in turn can alter and potentially compromise adaptive dynamics, preventing the removal of deleterious mutations and slowing down adaptation. Here, we… read more here.

Allocation trade‐offs impact organ size and muscle architecture in an invasive population of Xenopus laevis in Western France
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1111/joa.13063
Abstract: Invasive species are a global scourge and often negatively impact native species. Understanding the expansion and dispersal limits of these species is essential. As previous studies have demonstrated increased locomotor performance for populations at the… read more here.
