TL;DR: In this article, the introduction of invasive species and identifying life history stages where management will be most effective are discussed. And evolutionary processes may be key features in determining whether invasive species establish and spread.

Community ecology theory as a framework for biological invasions
Katriona Shea,Peter Chesson +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of "niche opportunity" was introduced by as discussed by the authors, which defines conditions that promote invasions in terms of resources, natural enemies, the physical environment, interactions between these factors, and the manner in which they vary in time and space.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Biological Invasions
TL;DR: For a few species, recent molecular evidence suggests ongoing propagule pressure aids an invasion to spread by introducing genetic variation adaptive for new areas and habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Consequences of Range Expansions
TL;DR: Interestingly, most of these patterns had been previously attributed to distinct selective processes, showing that taking into account the dynamic nature of a species range can lead to a paradigm shift in the authors' perception of evolutionary processes.

Propagule dispersal in marine and terrestrial environments: a community perspective
Brian P. Kinlan,Steven D. Gaines +1 more
TL;DR: The results validate some long-standing views about the greater dispersal potential of species in the ocean, but also highlight the extreme heterogeneity in dispersal scale among marine species.
