Correlation of native and exotic species richness: a global meta‐analysis finds no invasion paradox across scales
Abstract Support for the “biotic resistance hypothesis,” that species‐rich communities are more successful at resisting invasion by exotic species than are species‐poor communities, has long been debated. It has been argued that native–exotic richness relationships ( NERR ) are negative at small spa...
