The Evolutionary Ecology of Invasive Species summarizes the processes that facilitate rapid evolution during species invasion and provides the most up-to-date information in the field. This book offers new insights into the mechanisms that may underlie evolution of these species, including hologenomic and epigenetic variation. A comprehensive overview of achievements in the field during the boom of information over the past two decades, and discussions of possible future directions for the study of evolution in invasive species are also included.
Written by an international expert in invasion ecology, genetics, and evolutionary biology, The Evolutionary Ecology of Invasive Species explores methods such as strong selection and the release from native range predators, which make biological invasions unique model systems to study contemporary evolution. The book draws insights from a wide spectrum of invasive microbes, plants, and animals, covering many of the planet's biogeographic regions and theorizing the evolutionary consequences for native species in response to biological invasions. A valuable resource to researchers and students in evolutionary biology, invasive species biology, and global change biology, this text suggests future research directions in evolutionary biology related to climate change and invasive species management.
