Global changes are associated with the emergence of several invasive species. However, the genomic determinants of the adaptive success of an invasive species in a new environment remain poorly understood. Genomic structural variants (SVs), consisting of copy number variants, play an important role in adaptation. SVs often cause large adaptive shifts in ecologically important traits, which makes SVs compelling candidates for driving rapid adaptations to environmental changes, which is critical to invasive success. To address this problem, we investigated the role SVs play in the adaptive success of
