"According to a new study ... these crop-destroying invasive insects can hang onto zooming vehicles and endure wind speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour."

Environmental gradients oppose the evolution of increased dispersal often seen during biological invasion. Pretty cool!
It was really nice working with you on this, @_jbenning and Topher. Thanks for including us! @EvoEcoEliza
