Prunus serotina unleashed: invader dominance after 70 years of forest development [PDF]
, 2009 Propagule pressure and disturbance have both been found to facilitate invasion. Therefore, knowledge on the history of introduction and disturbance is vital for understanding an invasion process, and research should focus on areas in which the invasive ...

On the sympatric evolution and evolutionary stability of coexistence by relative nonlinearity of competition [PDF]
, 2014 If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as relative nonlinearity

Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Invasive species continue to severely impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive. In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure. Here,

Animal ecosystem engineers modulate the diversity-invasibility relationship. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundInvasions of natural communities by non-indigenous species are currently rated as one of the most important global-scale threats to biodiversity. Biodiversity itself is known to reduce invasions and increase stability. Disturbances by ecosystem

Evolution of discrete populations and the canonical diffusion of adaptive dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 The biological theory of adaptive dynamics proposes a description of the long-term evolution of a structured asexual population. It is based on the assumptions of large population, rare mutations and small mutation steps, that lead to a deterministic ODE

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018 Invasive candidiasis is an important health-care-associated fungal infection that can be caused by several Candida spp.; the most common species is Candida albicans, but the prevalence of these organisms varies considerably depending on geographical location.

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).

The distribution of range sizes of native and alien plants in four European countries and the effects of residence time [PDF]
, 2008 Aim Do the statistical distributions of range sizes of native and alien species differ? If so, is this because of residence time effects? And can such effects indicate an average time to a maximum?

The feasibility principle in community ecology
Oikos, EarlyView.The structure and function of ecological communities emerge from interactions among populations within specific environmental contexts. Yet we still lack general principles that explain how communities assemble, which patterns we should expect, and when transitions occur across diverse settings.
