Mechanisms of invasions: can the recipient community influence invasion rates?
botm, 2007Abstract At least since Elton's work in the 1950s it has been argued that properties of recipient communities influence invasion rates. The widespread view, initiated by Elton and later supported by both empirical and modelling studies, is that species-rich communities are more resistant to invasion than species-poor communities in ...

Species Diversity, Invasion, and Alternative Community States in Sequentially Assembled Communities
The American Naturalist, 2011The relationship between resident species diversity and invasion is generally negative in experimental studies but takes various forms in observational studies of natural communities. We hypothesized that stochastic species colonization, which applies to natural communities but not to experimental communities generally assembled through simultaneous ...

Community Invasibility, Recruitment Limitation, and Grassland Biodiversity
Ecology, 1997Plant species composition, species abundances, and species richness were strongly recruitment limited in a 4-yr experiment in which seeds of up to 54 species were added to patches of native grassland. Four field seasons after a one-time addition of seed, many added species were still present and reproducing, with plots seeded at the highest rate having

Does Invasion Sequence Affect Community Structure?
Ecology, 1987The effects of invasion sequence on community structure were evaluated using aquatic microcosms. Thirty 400—mL beakers were inoculated with replicated subsets of species from a species pool consisting of green, blue—green, and golden algae, ciliates, a rotifer, a dinoflagellate, and euglenoids.

Community Response to Plant Invasion
1997The potential effects of plant invasion on community structure are easily listed. Altered competitive interactions may produce changes in species composition, either by loss or reduction of indigenous (IN) species or, conceivably, by allowing entry of other species previously absent.

Invasive life, communities of practice, and communities of fate
Geografiska Annaler: Series B, Human Geography, 2015AbstractThe article starts from the premise that invasive life has the capacity to produce human communities. Invasive life is conceptualized as a way in which humans categorize proliferating organisms as ‘non‐native’ to a particular territory. The article focuses on the kind of relationship of human beings to invasive life that invokes a sense of ...

Community-Based Control of Invasive Species
2019Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make sustained and sometimes burdensome ...
