| non-native marine invertebrates are more tolerant towards environmental stress than taxonomically related native species: results from a globally replicated study. | to predict the risk associated with future introductions, ecologists seek to identify traits that determine the invasiveness of species. among numerous designated characteristics, tolerance towards environmental stress is one of the most favored. however, there is little empirical support for the assumption that non-native species generally cope better with temporarily unfavorable conditions than native species. to test this concept, we ran five pairwise comparisons between native and non-native ... | 2011 | 21632049 |
