Looking beyond the mountain: Dispersal barriers in a changing world (2016, background): “…is selected for and can be expected to increase; this has been recognized in the case of climate change (Thomas et al. 2001) and invasions (Phillips et al. 2006) with selection for increased dispersal rate resulting in rapid colonization of newly available habitat (see also Travis et al.…”
How climate extremes—not means—define a species' geographic range boundary via a demographic tipping point (2014, background): “…range may illuminate some of the same evolutionary mechanisms and, by reflecting variation deemed adaptive at the range margin, may identify constraints on population persistence in founding populations (Bridle and Vines 2007; see also Cwynar and MacDonald 1987 and Phillips et al. 2006).”
Evolution on ecological time‐scales (2007, background): “Hendry & Kinnison 1999; Schluter 2000; Kinnison & Hendry 2001; Palumbi 2001; Gilchrist et al. 2004; Hargeby, Johansson & Ahnesjo 2004; Garant et al. 2005; Strauss, Lau & Carroll 2006; Hendry et al. 2006; Phillips et al. 2006 ).”
Super-linear spreading in local and non-local cane toads equations (2015, background): “The experimental data [33, 36] show that the invasion speed has steadily increased during the eighty years since the toads were introduced in Australia.”
Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern. (2013, background): “However, traits such as dispersal ability, which might influence the relationship, can evolve rapidly, even within a species (e.g. Phillips et al. 2006), potentially rendering broad taxonomic groupings of little use in explaining among-study heterogeneity.”
A Hamilton-Jacobi approach for a model of population structured by space and trait (2013, background): “However, to describe many phenomena in ecology, as the spatial structure and the local adaptation of species [21], to understand the effect of environmental changes on a population [20] or to estimate the propagation speed of an invasive species [29, 14], it is crucial to consider the interactions b”
Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea (2012, neutral): “Finally, the colonization of a new landscape can be associated with the selection for altered dispersal (Cody & Overton 1996; Phillips et al. 2006; Cheptou et al. 2008).”
Contrasting effects of environmental factors during larval stage on morphological plasticity in post-metamorphic frogs (2010, background): “Relatively longer hind legs increase jumping performance (Emerson 1978, Zug 1978, Tejedo et al. 2000a,b, Gomes et al. 2009), and rapid adaptive coevolution between hind leg length and rate of movement has been suggested in the invasive toad Rhinella marina (Phillips et al. 2006).”
Natives adapting to invasive species: ecology, genes, and the sustainability of conservation (2007, background): “Moreover, work by Phillips et al. (2006) on limb elongation in invasive Bufo marinus toads in central Australia indicates that evolution may be taking place in response to the toad’s ‘evolving experience.’”
Evolution of dispersal and mating systems along geographic gradients: implications for shifting ranges (2014, background): “2011), dispersal itself can evolve as range limits expand, contract or fragment (Phillips et al. 2006; Hughes, Dytham & Hill 2007; Cheptou et al. 2008).”
The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, background): “…populations relative to core populations (Simmons & Thomas 2004), increased flight muscle relative to body mass in recently founded populations of Pararge aegeria (Hill et al. 1999) and the progressive increase in leg length during invasion of Australia by Bufo marinus (Phillips et al. 2006).”
