TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: It is found that evolutionary divergence overcomes niche conservatism: closely relatedspecies are no more ecologically similar than expected by random divergence and some distantly related species are Ecologically similar, leading to a community in which the relationship between ecological similarity and phylogenetic relatedness is very weak.

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: Analysis of morphology, mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA in the Cuban green anoles (carolinensis subgroup) strongly supports the hypothesis that Miocene fragmentation of Cuba into three palaeo–archipelagos accompanied species–level divergence in the adaptive radiation of West Indian Anolis lizards.

TL;DR: Variation among ecomorphs indicates that foraging behaviour is related to habitat use, although the specific environmental factors driving foraging divergence are unclear.
