Rates of molecular evolution and genetic diversity in European vs. North American populations of invasive insect species

Many factors contribute to the 'invasive potential' of species or populations. It has been suggested that the rate of genetic evolution of a species and the amount of genetic diversity upon which selection can act may play a role in invasiveness. In this study, we examine whether invasive...
