The paper evaluates expansion load and local adaptation in an invasive plant over 150 years of invasion, finding reduced fitness at range margins due to genetic drift and no evidence of local adaptation.

This paper highlights how confounding factors lead to misinterpretation in genetic studies of human behavior and socioeconomic outcomes by reanalyzing two examples.

The paper models how environmental gradients affect dispersal evolution during biological invasions, finding that gradients can reduce dispersal and increase invasion predictability.
