Introduced species that overcome life history tradeoffs can cause native extinctions

Introduced species that overcome life history tradeoffs can cause native extinctions

Introduced species may displace ecologically similar native species, but mechanisms are still to be established. Here, Catford et al. provide theoretical evidence of how human-mediated species invasions may overcome competition-colonisation tradeoffs, leading to the local extinction of native specie...
