INVASIVE SPECIES WIDESPREAD, BUT NOT MORE THAN AT HOME RANGE

It has been too long that i have not posted in my blog. This is partly due to lack of time and at the same time i have been lazy too. Today, i found one interesting news. The news is interesting in the sense that i am going to work with invasive species and more or less with the same theme.

It is a global assumption that when a plants invade in a new area, they become much more abundant in introduced habitat than in native habitat. But, study by Firn et al. (2011) shows that on average, invasive species are not any more abundant away from home than they are at home. The findings is published in March issue of Ecology letters. Link to the article
