Invasive species are notorious for their negative impacts on the environment and economy, but also provide useful systems for studying evolution in wild populations. Here, I utilize next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to approach mechanistic questions about the rapid adaptation to novel environments exhibited by invaders. Bioinformatics analyses of NGS data currently lack standardized parameter choices and there is growing concern that these choices may affect the evaluation of population structure. To address this issue, I analyze simulated GBS datasets and empirical RAD datasets of varying structure using multiple sets of filtering parameter choices. I demonstrate that such choices indeed affect the results, particularly in data...
