Selection despite low genetic diversity and high gene flow in a rapid island invasion of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2023
Invasive species are predicted to adjust their morphological, physiological and life‐history traits to adapt to their non‐native environments. Although a loss of genetic variation during invasion may restrict local adaptation, introduced species often ...
