American NaturalistNow available ahead of print! "The Genetic Consequences of Range Expansion and Its Influence on Diploidization in Polyploids" by William W. Booker & Daniel R. Schrider https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/733334
Urquhart-Cronish et al. model the eco-evolutionary range dynamics of life-history traits under density-dependent selection. They find that DD alters the extent of allele surfing & that population density is important for consequences of range expansion.

Thibaut Morel-JournelHere is a new paper, and my first one recommended by @PeerCommunityIn Ecology as a first author!
A paper about modelling supported by experimental data, on the colonisation debt, or how the range expansion speed can be affected by carrying capacity both on and behind the invasion front.

A vicious marine predator washes ashore in Harwichport
My friend Ralph – as I’ve mentioned before on these broadcasts, has an uncanny eye for unusual things that most of us would overlook. But he outdid himself the other day when he showed me a picture he had taken of something that had washed up on the beach in Harwichport.
