Evolving mutation rate advances the invasion speed of a sexual species
Abstract Background Many species are shifting their ranges in response to global climate change. Range expansions are known to have profound effects on the genetic composition of populations. The evolution of dispersal during range expansion increases invasion speed, provided that a species can adap...
