Generalist Predators Shape Biotic Resistance along a Tropical Island Chain
, 2023 Islands offer exclusive prisms for an experimental investigation of biodiversity x ecosystem function interplay. Given that species in upper trophic layers, e.g., arthropod predators, experience a comparative disadvantage on small, isolated islands, such

Predators vs. alien: differential biotic resistance to an invasive species by two resident predators [PDF]
, 2013 The success of invading species can be restricted by interspecific interactions such as competition and predation (i.e. biotic resistance) from resident species, which may be natives or previous invaders.
