Evolution Arrests Invasions of Cooperative Populations.
Population expansions trigger many biomedical and ecological transitions, from tumor growth to invasions of non-native species. Although population spreading often selects for more invasive phenotypes, we show that this outcome is far from inevitable. In cooperative populations, mutations reducing dispersal have a competitive advantage. Such mutations then steadily accumulate at the expansion f...

متن کاملEvolution of physiological tolerance and performance during freshwater invasions.
Invasive species that penetrate habitat boundaries are likely to experience strong selection and rapid evolution. This study documents evolutionary shifts in tolerance and performance following the invasion of fresh water by the predominantly estuarine and salt marsh copepod Eurytemora affinis. Common-garden experiments were performed on freshwater-invading (Lake Michigan) and ancestral saline ...
متن کاملEvolution of Invasive Populations
Evolutionary mechanisms that operate at multiple stages of invasions (e.g., transport, introduction, establishment) could profoundly affect the invasive success of populations. Evolution within the native range shapes the intrinsic properties of populations (e.g., plasticity, evolvability) in a manner that would dictate their response to novel environments. Confronted with a sudden introduction...
متن کاملThe genetic backburn: using rapid evolution to halt invasions.
The impact of an invasive species depends upon the extent of area across which it ultimately spreads. A powerful strategy for limiting impact, then, is to limit spread, and this can most easily be achieved by managing or reinforcing natural barriers to spread. Using a simulation model, we show that rapid evolutionary increases in dispersal can render permeable an otherwise effective barrier. On...
