Predicting the success of an invader: Niche shift versus niche conservatism

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 22, Page 12658-12675, November 2019., 2019
Invasive species can encounter environments different from their source populations, which may trigger rapid adaptive changes after introduction. Combining niche distribution modeling, genotype–environment associations and generalized dissimilarity modeling, we found evidence for environmental‐induced adaptive changes in the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes ...
