A new #OpenAccess paper about assembly rules and dynamics of open communities under persistent biological invasion has been published in Community Ecology
#EcologicalModeling#CommunityEcology
Constantly introducing species into a community pushes it to a station state, with balanced local extinction rate. Here is an estimator for the number of species packed at the stationary state.

π°π±A newly published paper shows how the number of #invasivespecies in a native #plantcommunity affects community properties, e.g., richness, diversity, invasibility and interspecific interactions.
