摘 要:Invasive species cause considerable ecological and economic damage but the studies discussed within this special column highlight the advantages of studying these species. Several of the articles in this special column discuss how genetic studies of invasive species add to our ability to predict invasive potential but also increase our understanding of native species' response to climate change (Liebl et al., 2015; Rius et al., 2015). It is now well-recognised that invasions represent "ex- periments in evolution" and that rapid evolution is common during introduction (Rollins et al., 2013), al- lowing us to use invasive species as models for under- standing evolutionary processes at large.
