| ancestral origins and invasion pathways in a globally invasive bird correlate with climate and influences from bird trade. | invasive species present a major threat to global biodiversity. understanding genetic patterns and evolutionary processes that reinforce successful establishment is paramount for elucidating mechanisms underlying biological invasions. among birds, the ring-necked parakeet (psittacula krameri) is one of the most successful invasive species, established in over 35 countries. however, little is known about the evolutionary genetic origins of this species and what population genetic signatures tell ... | 2015 | 26172573 |
