A fundamental assumption in invasion biology is that most invasive species exhibit
enhanced performance in their introduced range relative to their home ranges. This idea has …

Most species introductions are not expected to result in invasion, and species that are
invasive in one area are frequently not invasive in others. However, cases of introduced …

The success of invasive species has been explained by two contrasting but non-exclusive
views:(i) intrinsic factors make some species inherently good invaders;(ii) species become …

Successful plant invasions are often attributed to increased plant size, reproduction, or
release from natural enemies, but the generality and persistence of these patterns remains …

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 …

Invasive plants often appear to be more competitive than native species, but there have
been few tests of this hypothesis. We reviewed published pair‐wise experiments between …

Biological invasions are largely considered to be a “numbers game”, wherein the larger the
introduction effort, the greater the probability that an introduced population will become …

The process by which a species becomes a biological invader, at a location where it does
not naturally occur, can be divided into a series of sequential stages (transport, introduction …

Although the predatory and competitive impacts of biological invasions are well
documented, facilitation of native species by non-indigenous species is frequently …

Understanding the processes underlying the transition from introduction to naturalization
and spread is an important goal of invasion ecology. Release from pests and pathogens in …
