If adaptiveevolution unfolds by differential survival of individuals, how can individuals incapable of passing on their genes possibly evolve and persist?
Biological invasion is a process of adaptiveevolution in which hybridization and introgression play an important role in promoting invasive species by changing their invasiveness.
These advances illustrate the potential for a new synthesis to elucidate mechanisms for the adaptiveevolution of complex traits from nucleotide sequences to real-world environments.
