MY LIFE plus another paradox

The evolutionary consequences of biological invasions

Helpful and approachably written review of MY LIFE. Kinda awesome. Hey guys, it turns out invasive organisms evolve! And they evolve differently at all stages. Makes me want to read about honeybees...

Oh, and, found yet another paradox: "the paradox of invasion biology: how is it that species can be so successful against native species that are adapted to their surroundings despite the problems associated with small population sizes and a lack of genetic diversity?" This one in more interesting to me than the previous 'Invasion Paradox' - problems of scale just annoy me; someone (else) should just figure that out already, sounds like a math problem....
