Limits to evolution at range margins: when and why does adaptation fail?

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Mar 2007

Bridle Jon R, Vines Timothy H

Abstract excerpt

What stops populations expanding into new territory beyond the edge of a range margin? Recent models addressing this problem have brought together population genetics and population ecology, and some have included interactions among species at range edges. Here, we review these models of adaptation at environmental or parapatric margins, and discuss the contrasting effects of migration in either swamping local...
