Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association Overall trait differences between invasive and native species were slightly larger than differences among natives.
- Observation In most instances invasive-native trait differences did not exceed differences among co-occurring native species.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that trait values will be challenging predictors of invasion.
