This book offers new insights into the mechanisms that underlie rapid evolution in invasive species. It provides a comprehensive overview of achievements in the field during the boom of information over the past two decades and includes discussions of possible future directions for the study of evolution in invasive species. Written by an international expert in invasion ecology, population genetics, and evolutionary biology, it explores the roles of preadaptation, phenotypic plasticity, selection, and stochastic processes in driving rapid evolution.
