Heritability of body size matches trait evolution in the range expansion of a biological control agent

Heritability of body size matches trait evolution in the range expansion of a biological control agent

Adaptive evolution requires both natural selection and genetic variation. In introduced species, the selective dynamics of range expansion are predicted by theory to lead to differences between the core and the leading edge, with edge individuals evolving to be more fecund (under r-selection) and ha...
