Are non-native species larger in their invaded range? A test with tropical floodplain fish assemblages following inundation of a biogeographic barrier

2015-11-01

Abstract excerpt

There is a purported tendency for non-native species to have larger body sizes in their introduced range, commonly attributed to mechanisms such as enemy release or reduced competition. However, results are equivocal and this tendency may also result from ecosystem differences and/or the selective introduction of larger individuals. For most invasions it is difficult to separate the human from biological influence...
