Founding events in species invasions: genetic variation, adaptive evolution, and the role of multiple introductions.
Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt
Invasive species are predicted to suffer from reductions in genetic diversity during founding events, reducing adaptive potential. Integrating evidence from two literature reviews and two case studies, we address the following questions: How much genetic diversity is lost in invasions? Do multiple introductions ameliorate this loss? Is there evidence for loss of diversity in quantitative traits? Do invaders that...
