Evolutionary dynamics of tree invasions: complementing the unified framework for biological invasions

Evolution greatly impacts the outcomes of biological invasions. In our review, we review such evolutionary processes, with an emphasis on tree invasions, and place them in the context of a unified framework for biological invasions. The processes and mechanisms described are pre-introduction evolutionary history, sampling effect, founder effect, genotype-by-environment interactions, admixture, hybridization, polyploidization, rapid evolution, epigenetics, and second-genomes. By understanding the mechanisms underlying invasion success, researchers will be better equipped to predict, understand, and manage biological invasions.
