Species invasiveness and community invasibility of North American freshwater fish fauna revealed via trait-based analysis [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 While biological invasions are recognized as a major threat to global biodiversity, determining non-native species’ abilities to establish in new areas (species invasiveness) and the vulnerability of those areas to invasions (community invasibility) is ...

Co-invasion of three invasive alien plants increases plant taxonomic diversity and community invasibility [PDF]
Plant DiversityAlien species from the Asteraceae family frequently invade native plant communities. This study aims to determine how the number of Asteraceae species (i.e., Erigeron canadensis, E.

Effects of Different Degrees of Xanthium spinosum Invasion on the Invasibility of Plant Communities in the Yili Grassland of Northwest China [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Studying the effects of different degrees of exotic plant invasion on native plants’ community structure and plant diversity is essential for evaluating the harm caused to ecosystems by plant invasion.

Competition mode and soil nutrient status shape the role of soil microbes in the diversity–invasibility relationship [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding the relationship between plant diversity and invasibility is essential in invasion ecology. Species‐rich communities are hypothesized to be more resistant to invasions than species‐poor communities. However, while soil microorganisms play a

Invasibility of Common Plant Community Types of the Middle Urals
Diversity, 2023 This paper specifies the invasibility of common plant community types in the natural habitats of the Middle Urals. Invasibility was defined as the vulnerability of a community to alien plant species invasions, regardless of the conditions in which the ...

Disentangling the relationships among abundance, invasiveness and invasibility in trait space. [PDF]
NPJ Biodivers, 2023 Identifying conditions and traits that allow an introduced species to grow and spread, from being initially rare to becoming abundant (defined as invasiveness), is the crux of invasion ecology. Invasiveness and abundance are related but not the same, and

Phylogenetic Relationships and Disturbance Explain the Resistance of Different Habitats to Plant Invasions [PDF]
Life, 2022 Invasive alien plants have invaded various habitats, posing a threat to biodiversity. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of invasion, but few studies have considered the characteristics of the invaded communities and the ...

Increased Leaf Bacterial Network Complexity along the Native Plant Diversity Gradient Facilitates Plant Invasion? [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Understanding the mechanisms of biological invasion is critical to biodiversity protection. Previous studies have produced inconsistent relationships between native species richness and invasibility, referred to as the invasion paradox.

Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities
Journal of Ecology, 2021 One of the most studied emergent functions of plant community diversity is the resistance of diverse communities to non‐native invasions. As emphasized in this Special Feature, facilitation among native species is a key mechanism by which biodiversity ...
