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

Six central questions about biological invasions to which NEON data science is poised to contribute
Ecosphere, 2021 Biological invasions are a leading cause of rapid ecological change and often present a significant financial burden. As a vibrant discipline, invasion biology has made important strides in identifying, mapping, and beginning to manage invasions, but ...

eLife, 2021 Common garden experiments that inoculate a standardised growth medium with synthetic microbial communities (i.e. constructed from individual isolates or using dilution cultures) suggest that the ability of the community to resist invasions by additional ...

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,

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Native diversity contributes to composition heterogeneity of exotic floras
Ecosphere, 2023 Variation in species composition among sites (beta diversity) is generally thought to be driven by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation, but the role of biotic interactions has not been sufficiently addressed.
