Management of invasive plants through ecological resistance (2017, background): “2008; Macarthur and Levins 1967) There is a finite limit of coexisting species in similar niches/traits A meta-analysis suggests only a limited role in invasion (Price and Pärtel 2013), e.”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “However, a meta-analysis of experimental studies testing the effect of functional similarity on invasion success, only found evidence for this in synthetic experimental assemblages, and not in more ‘natural’ removal experiments (Price and Pärtel 2013).”
Community assembly by limiting similarity vs. competitive hierarchies: testing the consequences of dispersion of individual traits (2014, result): “This is consistent with a number of recent empirical findings which show absent or very weak signatures of limiting similarity (e.g. Kunstler et al. 2012; Bennett et al. 2013; Price & P€artel 2013).”
The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next? (2017, unknown): “…systems have in fact shown that community resistance to invasion tends to increase when native species are highly phylogenetically diverse (Gerhold et al. 2011, Fridley and Sax 2014), and functionally similar to invaders (Young et al. 2009, Hooper and Dukes 2010, Price and Pärtel 2013).”
