Evolution of reproductive life‐history and dispersal traits during the range expansion of a biological control agent

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Evolutionary theory predicts that the process of range expansion will lead to differences in life‐history and dispersal traits between the core and edge of a population.
