Newcomers and Old Friends: Long‐Distance and Bridgehead Introductions Both Contribute to the Recent Invasion of the Little Fire Ant in Southern Europe Open
Aim Biological invasions result from the combination of (i) population dispersal opportunities and (ii) adaptations to the recipient environment. Identifying complex migration histories, made of long‐distance dispersal from the native rang…

Building integrated plant health surveillance: a proactive research agenda for anticipating and mitigating disease and pest emergence Open
In an era marked by rapid global changes, the reinforcement and modernization of plant health surveillance systems have become imperative. Sixty-five scientists present here a research agenda for an enhanced and modernized plant health sur…
A synthesis of biological invasion hypotheses associated with the introduction–naturalisation–invasion continuum Open
With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world. Despite major advances in invasion science, significant d…
Fruit fly phylogeny imprints bacterial gut microbiota Open
A bstract One promising avenue for reconciling the goals of crop production and ecosystem preservation consists in the manipulation of beneficial biotic interactions, such as between insects and microbes. Insect gut microbiota can affect h…

How do invasion syndromes evolve? An experimental evolution approach using the ladybird Harmonia axyridis Open
Experiments comparing native to introduced populations or distinct introduced populations to each other show that phenotypic evolution is common and often involves a suit of interacting phenotypic traits. We define such sets of traits that…

Adaptation and correlated fitness responses over two time scales in <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> populations evolving in different environments Open
The process of local adaptation involves differential changes in fitness over time across different environments. Although experimental evolution studies have extensively tested for patterns of local adaptation at a single time point, ther…

Data and scripts supporting the analyses of the joint species distributions of eight Tephritids species in La Réunion island.
Joint species distributions reveal the combined effects of host plants, abiotic factors and species competition as drivers of species abundances in fruit flies Open
A bstract The relative importance of ecological factors and species interactions for phytophagous insect species distributions has long been a controversial issue. Using field abundances of eight sympatric Tephritid fruit flies on 21 host …
A Whole-Genome Scan for Association with Invasion Success in the Fruit Fly Drosophila suzukii Using Contrasts of Allele Frequencies Corrected for Population Structure Open
Evidence is accumulating that evolutionary changes are not only common during biological invasions but may also contribute directly to invasion success. The genomic basis of such changes is still largely unexplored. Yet, understanding the …

Biological Invasion Theories: Merging Perspectives from Population, Community and Ecosystem Scales Open
Biological invasions have reached an unprecedented level and the number of introduced species is still increasing worldwide. Despite major advances in invasion science, the determinants of success of introduced species, the magnitude and d…

The evolution of chemical defenses along invasion routes: <i>Harmonia axyridis</i> Pallas (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) as a case study Open
The evolution of increased competitive ability ( EICA ) hypothesis (Blossey & Nötzold, ) postulates that escaping from coevolved enemies increases invaders fitness by energy reallocation from defenses and immunity to growth and reproductio…
The genomic basis of colour pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird Open
Many animal species are comprised of discrete phenotypic forms. Understanding the genetic mechanisms generating and maintaining such phenotypic variation within species is essential to comprehending morphological diversity. A common and co…
Effect of the environment on life-history traits in Drosophila suzukii Open
The life-history traits of organisms can be driven by the environment. Specifically, the nutritional composition of resources can influence life-history traits in insects. In Drosophila, the ratio of protein to carbohydrate (the P:C ratio)…
lnvestigating the potential specialization of the pest Drosophila suzukii to different host fruits Open
Theory predicts that adaptive trade-offs across environments promote the evolution of specialized genotypes. However, generalist genotypes that are not better adapted to a specific environment are often observed in nature. Generalists can …
Mating Status Influences Cold Tolerance and Subsequent Reproduction in the Invasive Ladybird Harmonia axyridis Open
Among arthropods, ability to survive cold conditions may be instrumental for species invading temperate or colder climatic zones. Cold tolerance can be influenced by multiple environmental and physiological factors. We experimentally inves…
Changes in phytophagous insect host ranges following the invasion of their community: Long‐term data for fruit flies Open
The invasion of an established community by new species can trigger changes in community structure. Invasions often occur in phytophagous insect communities, the dynamics of which are driven by the structure of the host assemblage and the …
Adaptation of genetically monomorphic bacteria: evolution of copper resistance through multiple horizontal gene transfers of complex and versatile mobile genetic elements Open
Copper‐based antimicrobial compounds are widely used to control plant bacterial pathogens. Pathogens have adapted in response to this selective pressure. Xanthomonas citri pv. citri , a major citrus pathogen causing Asiatic citrus canker, …

New partner at the core of macrolichen diversity Open
For over 140 years, lichens have been regarded as a symbiosis between a single fungus, usually an ascomycete, and a photosynthesizing partner. Other fungi have long been known to occur as occasional parasites or endophytes, but the one lic…
