<p>"The book's format is easy to navigate, with single articles serving as chapters, providing a comfortable route through which one can locate useful references. The three sections are well defined and cohesive, and contain discussions that bring together the thoughts of the contributing authors on the featured articles...This book serves as a great reference source, with clearly defined articles and an easily navigable layout. It would prove similarly useful for those with interests in either evolution, genetics, or both." (<i>Phenotype</i> June 2017)</p>

<p><b>Professor Loren H. Rieseberg</b>, FRS, is a Canada Research Chair in Plant Evolutionary Genomics at the University of British Columbia. He is the Chief Editor of <i>Molecular Ecology</i> and a Fellow of the Royal Societies of Canada and London. He has pioneered the application of genomic approaches to the study of invasive plants, with a focus on the sunflower family.</p> <p><b>Professor Spencer C.H. Barrett</b>, FRS, is University Professor and Canada Research Chair in Evolutionary Genetics in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. Throughout his career<br />he has worked on the ecology and evolution of invasive plant species, particularly their reproductive biology and genetics. He is a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Canada.</p> <p><b>Dr. Robert I. Colautti</b> is the 2012 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the Botany Department at the University of British Columbia. He has been publishing important papers on the ecology and evolution of colonizing plants and animals for over a decade.</p> <p><b>Dr. Katrina M. Dlugosch</b> is an Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona.
