Genomic structural variation rescues a classic biological invader from a population bottleneck Genomic structural variation rescues a classic biological invader from a population bottleneck

Invasion genetics presents a classic paradox: how do species successfully spread despite severe population bottlenecks? The brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis) in Guam represents a striking example of this phenomenon, having been introduced with only a handful of individuals. We show that the population endured an extreme bottleneck, with roughly half of the genome exhibiting runs of...
