Native plants do not benefit from arriving early, but invasives pay to arrive late
Ecological IndicatorsPriority effects refer to the phenomenon where early-arriving species in an ecosystem influence the subsequent community structure by altering resource availability for late-arriving species.

PLoS ONE, 2015 BackgroundAlthough plant diversity is postulated to resist invasion, studies have not provided consistent results, most of which were ascribed to the influences of other covariate environmental factors.Methodology/principal findingsTo explore the ...

Can species richness be maintained in logged endemic Acacia Heterophylla forests (Reunion Island, Indian Ocean) ? [PDF]
, 2007 It is assumed that forests can serve multiple uses, including wood production and maintenance of high biodiversity level. We tested this hypothesis by studying eradication methods of invasive plants currently implemented in exploited endemic Acacia ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...

Biological Invasions, 2008 In Hawaii, invasive plants have the ability to alter litter-based food chains because they often have litter traits that differ from native species. Additionally, abundant invasive predators, especially those representing new trophic levels, can reduce prey.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

Fungal community assembly during Solidago canadensis shoot decomposition is driven by the plant’s invasion gradient [PDF]
NeoBiotaSolidago canadensis (L.) is an invasive plant species native to North America, but it is also widespread in Eurasia, Australia and New Zealand. Numerous authors suggest that the leaf litter of this plant decomposes rapidly.

Microbial metal resistance and metabolism across dynamic landscapes: high-throughput environmental microbiology. [PDF]
, 2017 Multidimensional gradients of inorganic compounds influence microbial activity in diverse pristine and anthropogenically perturbed environments. Here, we suggest that high-throughput cultivation and genetics can be systematically applied to generate ...

Resistance of plant communities to invasive species : disentangling invasiveness from invasibility
, 2009 Invasive species are nowadays considered as one of the most important threat to biodiversity. By displacing native species, modifying ecosystem functioning and causing substantial losses to agricultural production, they represent a menace to natural and managed ecosystems.

Predicting coexistence of plants subject to a tolerance-competition trade-off [PDF]
, 2013 Ecological trade-offs between species are often invoked to explain species coexistence in ecological communities. However, few mathematical models have been proposed for which coexistence conditions can be characterized explicitly in terms of a trade-off.
