Rapid displacement of native species by invasive species: effects of hybridization
TLDR
Using single-locus, two-allele models, it is found that species replacement can occur very rapidly and the time to displacement decreases rapidly with increasing immigration and selection differential.About:

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.

The Hidden Side of Invasions: Massive Introgression by Local Genes
TL;DR: It is shown by spatially explicit simulations that massive introgression of neutral genes takes place during the invasion of an occupied territory if interbreeding is not severely prevented between the invading and the local species.

TL;DR: The effects caused by different insect invaders are reviewed according to their ecosystem roles, i.e. herbivores, predators, parasites, parasitoids and pollinators; the level of biological organisation at which they occur; and the direct and indirect mechanisms underlying these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobiology and the global transport of desert dust.
TL;DR: Whether transoceanic and transcontinental dust events inject a large pulse of microorganisms and pollen into the atmosphere and could therefore have a role in transporting pathogens or expanding the biogeographical range of some organisms by facilitating long-distance dispersal events is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assisted colonization is not a viable conservation strategy
TL;DR: It is argued that conservation biologists have not yet developed a sufficient understanding of the impacts of introduced species to make informed decisions regarding species translocations.

Book
Natural selection in the wild
TL;DR: It is argued that the common assumption that selection is usually weak in natural populations is no longer tenable, but that natural selection is only one component of the process of evolution; natural selection can explain the change of frequencies of variants, but not their origins.

Some Demographic and Genetic Consequences of Environmental Heterogeneity for Biological Control
TL;DR: Effectiveness of any control program will depend on the different responses of the crop, pest, and control organism to this pattern of environment, which there are geographic, local, and temporal variations in the environment.
Book
The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants
TL;DR: The first book on invasion biology, and still the most cited, Elton's masterpiece provides an accessible, engaging introduction to one of the most important environmental crises of the authors' time.
