Serial founder effects slow range expansion in an invasive social insect.

Nature communications - 29 Apr 2024

Hagan Thomas, Ding Guiling, Buchmann Gabriele, Oldroyd Benjamin P, Gloag Rosalyn

Abstract excerpt

Invasive populations often experience founder effects: a loss of genetic diversity relative to the source population, due to a small number of founders. Even where these founder effects do not impact colonization success, theory predicts they might affect the rate at which invasive populations expand. This is because secondary founder effects are generated at advancing population edges, further reducing local...
