Plant invasion and fragmentation indirectly and contrastingly affect native plants and grassland arthropods

Counteractive effects of predator invasion and habitat destruction on predator–prey systems

“…It is widely believed that habitat destruction strongly affects invasive species. The current literature indicates that habitat destruction can promote the success of invasive species (Gallé et al, 2023;Kumschick et al, 2015). For example, With (2004) and Pearson and Dawson (2005) suggested that exotic species with greater dispersal ability may benefit more from habitat destruction.…”

“…Although the interaction between biological invasion and habitat destruction has garnered much attention (Alofs & Fowler, 2010;Gallé et al, 2023), understanding how these invasions and destruction collectively impact the long-term persistence of native communities remains challenging. For instance, when habitat destruction and invasion co-occur, native species have a greater chance of persistence than when invasion occurs on its own, particularly if invasive species possess stronger competition or dispersal ability than native species (Yang & Liu, 2023).…”
