Species invasiveness and community invasibility of US freshwater fish fauna revealed via trait-based analysis
G. Su, A. Mertel, S. Brosse, J. M. Calabrese
The paper analyzes trait-based data to assess species invasiveness and community invasibility in US freshwater fish, finding that higher reproduction rates, longer life spans, and larger sizes correlate with invasiveness, while community invasibility peaks when native species have high functional distance.
