Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Invasive species continue to severely impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive. In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure. Here,

Biotic resistance to invasion along an estuarine gradient [PDF]
Oecologia, 2010 Biotic resistance is the ability of native communities to repel the establishment of invasive species. Predation by native species may confer biotic resistance to communities, but the environmental context under which this form of biotic resistance occurs is not well understood.

Environmental stress mediates trophic cascade strength and resistance to invasion
Ecosphere, 2016 Although much attention has focused on the drivers of trophic cascade strength among systems (e.g., habitat type, body size, predator, and prey thermy) comparatively little is known of how trophic cascades change within systems, especially with respect ...

Megaherbivores provide biotic resistance against alien plant dominance
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023 These dataset are associated to the paper 'Megaherbivores provide biotic resistance against alien plant dominance' (Mungi et al. 2023). The dataset are resulted from a large-scale intensive biodiversity assessment conducted across tropical ecosystems in India, using various methods like camera trapping and vegetation inventory.

Stage-based biotic resistance to a non-native species [PDF]
NeoBiotaBiotic resistance theory posits a negative relationship between diversity and invasibility. The mechanisms behind this can be variable, but studies are often focused on competition between many resident and introduced species. However, individual species

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 A challenge in many restoration projects, in particular when establishing de novo communities, is the arrival and later dominance of invasive alien plants. This could potentially be avoided by designing invasion-resistant native communities.

Mechanisms of biotic resistance across complex life cycles [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2013 Summary Biotic resistance is the ability of communities to inhibit the establishment, spread or impact of novel species. However, the interactions that underlie biotic resistance depend heavily on the contexts in which species interact. Consequently, studies of biotic resistance that consider single processes, patches, species or life‐history stages ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Alien plants experience novel abiotic conditions and interactions with native communities in the introduced area. Intra‐ and interspecific selection on functional traits in the new environment may lead to increased population growth with time since ...

Invasive Species in Puerto Rico: The View From El Yunque
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Native flora and fauna of Puerto Rico have a long biogeographic connection to South America. Theory and empirical evidence suggest that islands, particularly those distantly isolated from the mainland, should be more susceptible to naturalizations and ...
