Intrinsic fitness differences outweigh environmental matching in shaping introduction outcomes in nature

Lucas Eckert, Daniel I. Bolnick, Alison Margaret Derry, Grant E. Haines, Alexis M. Heckley, Åsa J. Lind, Catherine L. Peichel, Allison M. Roth, Natalie C. Steinel, Kristen Vlahiotis, Jesse N. Weber, Andrew P. Hendry, Rowan D. H. Barrett

This study introduces >12,000 threespine stickleback into nine lakes to test if environmental matching or intrinsic population traits predict introduction success, finding intrinsic traits are more important.

Meta-analysis reveals the tempo of evolutionary parallelism of local adaptation between native and introduced ranges of plant species

Romane Normand, Alexis M. Heckley, Kathryn A. Hodgins, Samantha Grover, Tim Connallon, Akane Uesugi

This study uses meta-analysis to examine the tempo of evolutionary parallelism in clinal divergence between native and introduced plant ranges, finding increased parallelism over time.
