Complex interactions between spatial pattern of resident species and invasiveness of newly arriving species affect invasibility.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the factors that affect establishment success of new species in established communities requires the study of both the ability of new species to establish and community resistance. Spatial pattern of species within a community can affect plant performance by changing the outcome of inter-specific competition, and consequently community invasibility. We studied the effects of spatial pattern of...
