Meta-analysis reveals the tempo of evolutionary parallelism of local adaptation between native and introduced ranges of plant species Open
Natural selection can cause evolution to be predictable despite the randomness of processes that generate genetic variation. However, the predictability of evolution can be difficult to evaluate, owing to the complexity of environmental co…

Social media data reveal novel habitats for invasive species Open
Invasive alien species pose significant threats to biodiversity, yet their distributions remain poorly documented across much of the tropics. Using Bangladesh, a megapopulated tropical country, we combine species distribution data from Fac…

A phased chromosome-level genome of the annelid tubeworm <i>Galeolaria caespitosa</i> Open
Haplotype-resolved (phased) genome assemblies are emerging as important assets for genomic studies of species with high heterozygosity, but remain lacking for key animal lineages. Here, we use PacBio HiFi and Omni-C technologies to assembl…

Copy number variation contributes to parallel local adaptation in an invasive plant Open
Adaptation is a critical determinant of the diversification, persistence, and geographic range limits of species. Yet the genetic basis of adaptation is often unknown and potentially underpinned by a wide range of mutational types—from sin…

Rapid Parallel Adaptation in Distinct Invasions of <i>Ambrosia Artemisiifolia</i> Is Driven by Large-Effect Structural Variants Open
When introduced to multiple distinct ranges, invasive species provide a compelling natural experiment for understanding the repeatability of adaptation. Ambrosia artemisiifolia is an invasive, noxious weed, and chief cause of hay fever. Le…

Predicting adaptation and evolution of plasticity from temporal environmental change Open
Environmental change can drive evolutionary adaptation and determine geographic patterns of biodiversity. Yet at a time of rapid environmental change, our ability to predict its evolutionary impacts is incomplete. Temporal environmental ch…

Structural variants underlie parallel adaptation following global invasion Open
Rapid adaptation during invasion has historically been considered limited and unpredictable. We leverage whole-genome sequencing of >2600 plants across six continents to investigate the relative roles of colonization history and adaptation…

Impacts of pleiotropy and migration on repeated genetic adaptation Open
Observations of genetically repeated evolution (repeatability) in complex organisms are incongruent with the Fisher–Orr model, which implies that repeated use of the same gene should be rare when mutations are pleiotropic (i.e. affect mult…

Rapid evolutionary adaptation: Potential and constraints Open
The vast diversity of life on earth is the result of evolutionary processes that acted over billions of years. Historically it was assumed that adaptation and the origin of new species required long periods of time. However, it is now well…

Does urbanisation lead to parallel demographic shifts across the world in a cosmopolitan plant? Open
Urbanisation is occurring globally, leading to dramatic environmental changes that are altering the ecology and evolution of species. In particular, the expansion of human infrastructure and the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats i…

Assessing the invasive potential of different source populations of ragweed (<i>Ambrosia artemisiifolia</i>L.) through genomically informed species distribution modelling Open
The genetic composition of founding populations is likely to play a key role in determining invasion success. Individual genotypes may differ in habitat preference and environmental tolerance, so their ability to colonize novel environment…

Genomic Tools in Biological Invasions: Current State and Future Frontiers Open
Human activities are accelerating rates of biological invasions and climate-driven range expansions globally, yet we understand little of how genomic processes facilitate the invasion process. Although most of the literature has focused on…

Core genes driving climate adaptation in plants Open
Closely-related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments1,2. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential, and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary ti…
