Biological invasions often bring together individuals from multiple native-range sources.
Using genetic analyses, we show that individuals different native-range sources interbreed within non-native populations, and genetic diversity increases with the number of sources and genetic differences among non-native populations reflects differences in their native-range sources.
If adaptive genetic variation also increases, then the ability of invasive species to adapt to new conditions may be enhanced.
