We review and synthesize recent developments in the study of the invasion of communities
in heterogeneous environments, considering both the invasibility of the community and …

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented
level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world …

Fundamentals of Soil Ecology, 3rd Edition, offers a holistic approach to soil biology and
ecosystem function, providing students and ecosystem researchers with a greater …

The degree to which plant communities are vulnerable to invasion by alien species has
often been assessed using the relationship between native and alien plant species richness …

The invasion paradox describes the co‐occurrence of independent lines of support for both
a negative and a positive relationship between native biodiversity and the invasions of …

Biodiversity is believed to be closely related to ecosystem functions. However, the ability of
existing biodiversity measures, such as species richness and phylogenetic diversity, to …

Some species introduced into new geographical areas from their native ranges wreak
ecological and economic havoc in their new environment. Although many studies have …

Biotic resistance, the ability of species in a community to limit invasion, is central to our
understanding of how communities at risk of invasion assemble after disturbances, but it has …

While small‐scale studies show that more diverse native communities are less invasible by
exotics, studies at large spatial scales often find positive correlations between native and …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) were acknowledged globally as effective tools to mitigate the
