Novel assemblages: challenges for ecology and the conservation/restoration orthodoxy

Richard J Hobbs (1) 1 School of Plant Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia Much has been written about changes in species distributions in response to climate change and other environmental changes and, in addition, the human role in engineering change through transport of species outside their normal ranges. This deliberate transport…

Colonisation pathways, genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a non-native lizard

Studying biological invasions may further our understanding of how ecological and evolutionary processes  shape  patterns  of  diversity within  species  and  communities.  The ability of non-native species to persist and adapt to new environments is expected to rely on their genetic diversity. To understand what shapes their genetic structure we first need to have a detailed…
