    Functional responses can unify invasion ecology
    (Springer, 2017-01-18) Dick, J. T. A.; Alexander, M. E.; Ricciardi, A.; Laverty, C.; Downey, P. O.; Xu, M.; Jeschke, J. M.; Saul, W. C.; Hill, M. P.; Wasserman, R.; Barrios-O'Neill, D.; Weyl, O. L. F.; Shaw, R. H.
    We contend that invasion ecology requires a universal, measurable trait of species and their interactions with resources that predicts key elements of invasibility and ecological impact; here, we advocate that functional responses can help achieve this across taxonomic and trophic groups, among habitats and contexts, and can hence help unify disparate research interests in invasion ecology.
