The continuous growth and movement of the human population is increasing the frequency of translocating species from their native ranges to novel environments. However, biological invasions offer a rare opportunity to investigate how species can colonise and adapt to new conditions. In that sense, Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) can be a powerful tool to predict where invasive species will spread over the next decades, although...

Aim The Mediterranean Basin is a global biodiversity hotspot and has one of the longest histories of human–biota interactions. Islands host a large fraction of Mediterranean diversity and endemism, but the relative importance of natural versus human‐mediated colonisation processes in shaping the distribution and genetic structure of Mediterranean island fauna remains poorly understood. Here, we combine population genomics, dem...
