Darwin's naturalisation hypothesis posing that phylogenetic distance of alien species to
native residents predicts invasion success, and Elton's diversity–invasibility hypothesis …

Patterns of trait distribution among competing species can potentially reveal the processes
that allow them to coexist. It has been recently proposed that competition may drive the …

Experiments with artificial microbial communities indicate that certain community
compositions are more resistant to microbial invasion than others. However, few invasion …

This thesis is about Life and how it is unevenly distributed across time, space and
hierarchical levels. When comparing the fossil record with the current diversity of life, the …

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts that alien species closely related to native
species are less likely to naturalize because of strong competition due to niche overlap …

Species are unevenly spread across time, space and hierarchical levels which can be the
result of lineages differing in rates of origination and extinction. This difference can be …
