Quantifying invasibility. [PDF]

Ecol Lett, 2022
Invasibility, the chance of a population to grow from rarity and to establish a large-abundance colony, plays a fundamental role in population genetics, ecology, and evolution.

Stable and oscillatory hypoxia differentially regulate invasibility of breast cancer associated fibroblasts. [PDF]

Mechanobiol Med
As local regions in the tumor outstrip their oxygen supply, hypoxia can develop, affecting not only the cancer cells, but also other cells in the microenvironment, including cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

The Relative Growth of Invasive Solanum rostratum Dunal Decreases with Increasing Competitive Species Richness Regardless of Resource Conditions [PDF]

Plants
The biotic resistance hypothesis proposes that species-rich communities are more resistant to biological invasions due to the less available resources for invaders. The variation in available soil resources may affect the invasion resistance of community,

Plant interactions can lead to emergent relationships between plant community diversity, productivity and vulnerability to invasion [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Understanding what makes a community vulnerable to invasion is integral to the successful management of invasive species. Our understanding of how characteristics of resident plant interactions, such as the network architecture of interactions, can ...

Functional Divergence Drives Invasibility of Plant Communities at the Edges of a Resource Availability Gradient

Diversity, 2020
Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are a serious threat to biodiversity, severely affecting natural habitats and species assemblages. However, no consistent empirical evidence emerged on which functional traits or trait combination may foster community ...

Invasibility of a North American soil ecosystem to amphibian-killing fungal pathogens. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci
North American salamanders are threatened by intercontinental spread of chytridiomycosis, a deadly disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal).

Relating Invasibility and Invasiveness: Case Study of Impatiens parviflora

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Data on alien species show that plant invasions are caused by a complex combination of characteristics of invasive species (invasiveness) and characteristics of invaded environment (invasibility).

Does the Species Number of Invasive Plants Regulate the Intensity of Interspecific Interactions Among Multiple Plants Under Different Invasion Scenarios? [PDF]

Plants
Multiple invasive plants (IPS) can coexist in the same community. The intensity of interspecific interactions among multiple plants may progressively alter with the differences in the species number of IPS (Si) under different invasion scenarios. However,

Evidence for Elton's diversity–invasibility hypothesis from belowground

Ecology, 2020
Sixty year ago, Charles Elton posed that species-rich communities should be more resistant to biological invasion. However, still little is known about which processes could drive the diversity-invasibility relationship.

Maintaining close canopy cover prevents the invasion of Pinus radiata: Basic ecology to manage native forest invasibility.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Pine invasion is a global threat that is occurring in native forests of diverse regions of the world. This process is arising in a scenario of rapid forest deforestation and degradation.
