Biological invasions : a global perspective
TL;DR: History of biological invasions with special emphasis on the old world invasions of natural ecosystems by plant pathogens patterns, modes and extents of invasion by vertebrates temperate grasslands vulnerable to plant invasions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-Assembly Mechanics and the Structure of an Experimental Species Ensemble
TL;DR: It was relatively easy to produce alternative community states as a function of variability in a sequence of species invasions employed to assemble a community, but the existence of alternative states presents a difficult comparative problem in the search for unifying principles that might underlie community-level organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanics of community assembly and succession
TL;DR: The mechanics of community assembly and production of ecological pattern are explored and organization is deduced from an analysis of extant community organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Communities as assembled structures: Do rules govern pattern?
TL;DR: A survey of the assembly process at the community level can be found in this paper, where the authors examine whether there are mechanics to community assembly that provide the foundation for a general theory of organization at community level.
