The biological invasion of the lizard Anolis sagrei provides an opportunity to study evolutionary mechanisms that produce morphological differentiation among non‐native populations. Because the A. sagrei invasion represents multiple native‐range source populations, differential admixture as well as random genetic drift and natural selection, could shape morphological evolution during the invasion. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses reveal seven distinct native‐range source populations for 10…

Multiple Sources, Admixture, and Genetic Variation in Introduced Anolis Lizard Populations

It is proposed that introductions follow a sequential, two‐step process involving a reduction in genetic variation due to founder effects and population bottlenecks followed by an increase in Genetic variation if admixture of individuals from multiple native‐range sources occurs.

Admixture determines genetic diversity and population differentiation in the biological invasion of a lizard species

Analysis of microsatellite variation supports the hypothesis that lizards from disparate native-range sources, identified using mtDNA haplotypes, form genetically admixed introduced populations of the lizard Anolis sagrei.

Intraspecific Genetic Admixture and the Morphological Diversification of an Estuarine Fish Population Complex

The morphology of mixed-ancestry populations varied as a function of the relative contribution of the two races to estuarine populations, supporting the hypothesis of genetic admixture and providing only partial support for transgressive segregation.

The desire for variety: Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) populations introduced to the United States via the pet trade are derived from multiple native-range sources

The pet trade dominates the invasion pathway for P. siculus introductions to the US, and genetically and geographically diverse sampling of its native range may be driven by the desire for phenotypic variety in the pet trade, a hypothesis that needs future testing.

Temporal decline of genetic differentiation among populations of western flower thrips across an invaded range

Colonizing populations of alien invasive species are often unstable due to their small population size, ongoing gene flow, and ongoing adaptation to local conditions. These processes should lead to…

Genetic differentiation in life‐history traits of introduced and native common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) populations

Comparing 22 native North American populations and 12 introduced European populations of common ragweed in five common gardens finds evidence for improved growth and reproduction of the introduced populations in most environments, but under drought conditions, the introduced plants experienced more rapid wilting and mortality than their native counterparts.

Investigating the genetic load of an emblematic invasive species: the case of the invasive harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis

It was found that inter-populations crosses had no major impact on the lifetime performance of the offspring produced by individuals from either native or invasive populations, and significant outbreeding depression was observed only for crosses between native populations for generation time.

Prey-associated head-size variation in an invasive lizard in the Hawaiian Islands

The results suggest that morphological differentiation among populations from different islands has occurred over a relatively short ecological timescale, and is likely the result of ecomorphological adaptation to differences in exploited prey hardness.

Physiological Variation among Invasive Populations of the Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei)*

Differences in physiological traits among three populations of an invasive lizard, the brown anole, along the latitudinal extent of its invasion in the southeastern United States raise questions about the roles of plasticity and adaptation in the success of the invasion.

Propagule Pressure and Introduction Pathways of Bromus tectorum (Cheatgrass; Poaceae) in the Central United States

The results illustrate the population genetic consequences of relatively high propagule pressure (i.e., repeated immigrations to a new range from multiple sources) in the central United States.

It is shown that one key to invasion success may be the occurrence of multiple introductions that transform among- population variation in native ranges to within-population variation in introduced areas.

It is found that size and size-related shape in the cranium is more variable relative to other aspects of cranial morphology than expected under genetic drift, suggesting differential size selection between the two major clades, the small-bodied and large-bodied tamarins.

Gene genealogy analyses point to aquaculture as a major vector of introduction and spread in Europe but implicate maritime traffic in promoting recurrent migration events from the native range to Australasia, suggesting different processes of introduction in the two regions.

INTERACTION BETWEEN FOUNDER EFFECT AND SELECTION DURING BIOLOGICAL INVASION IN AN AQUATIC PLANT

Using large-scale population genetic surveys, a major shift in the relative frequency of sexually fertile diploid versus sexually sterile triploid populations associated with the invasion of North America by a clonal aquatic plant, Butomus umbellatus is demonstrated.

MICROEVOLUTION IN ISLAND FORMS: THE ROLES OF DRIFT AND DIRECTIONAL SELECTION IN MORPHOLOGICAL DIVERGENCE OF A PASSERINE BIRD

It is suggested that the observed microevolutionary changes are largely a result of directional natural selection in recently colonized island Zosterops and therefore drift alone is not an adequate explanation of morphological differentiation.

Introduced species as moving targets: changes in body sizes of introduced lizards following experimental introductions and historical invasions

Brown anoles are generally larger on islands where they have been introduced than on their native Caribbean islands, and are much larger on mainlands than on islands, indicating character release occurred at larger geographic scales as well.

The phylogenetic reconstruction suggests that although repeated invasions in Melanoides may have an impact on indigenous molluscan faunas, their most likely effect is the world‐wide homogenization of the invasive taxon itself.

Phenotypic and genetic differentiation between native and introduced plant populations

There is reasonable empirical evidence to suggest that genetic differentiation through rapid evolutionary change is important in plant invasions, and conceptual and methodological issues associated with cross-continental comparisons are discussed.
