Description:
Rapid evolution of dispersal ability makes biological invasions faster and more variable Nature Communications, Published online: 27 January 2017; doi:10.1038/ncomms14315 Theory suggests that spatial sorting by dispersal ability can generate evolutionarily accelerated range expansions. Using the bean beetle Callosobruchus maculatus , this study shows that evolution not only increases the speed of range expansion, as predicted, but also increases variability.
