Conceptual issues in local adaptation

Kawecki, Tadeusz J. ; Ebert, Dieter

In: Ecology Letters, 2004, vol. 7, p. 1225-1241

Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing evolutionary hypotheses about traits favoured by particular environmental factors. This paper is an attempt to summarize the conceptual framework for local adaptation studies. We first review theoretical work relevant for...

Evolution in invasive plants: implications for biological control

Müller-Schärer, Heinz ; Schaffner, Urs ; Steinger, Thomas

In: Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2004, vol. 19, p. 417-422

Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the process of range expansion. Here, we argue that evolutionary change during invasions will also affect plant–antagonist inter-actions and, thus, will have important implications for biological control programmes targeted at invasive plants. We explore how altered selection in the new range might influence...
