Exotic species richness and native species endemism increase the impact of exotic species on islands [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2011
ABSTRACTAim  Exotic species pose one of the most significant threats to biodiversity, especially on islands. The impacts of exotic species vary in severity among islands, yet little is known about what makes some islands more susceptible than others. Here we determine which characteristics of an island influence how severely exotic species affect its ...
