Abstract:Range expansion is a common feature from invasive to reintroduced or
recovering populations. This process is mainly driven by population
growth and dispersal and, consequently, different species’ intrinsic
characteristics and dispersal mechanisms will result in contrasting
population structures in space. How individuals of different sex and age
classes are spatially distributed is key to understand and forecast
range expansions, but remains largely unexplored. Here, we developed an
age-structured open populati… Show more
