Environmental determinants of population divergence in life-history traits for an invasive species: climate, seasonality and natural enemies.

Abstract excerpt

Invasive species cope with novel environments through both phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary change. However, the environmental factors that cause evolutionary divergence in invasive species are poorly understood. We developed predictions for how different life-history traits, and plasticity in those traits, may respond to environmental gradients in seasonal temperatures, season length and natural enemies....
