Jonathan Jeschke discusses a rapidly growing scientific discipline known as the four general hypotheses in modern Invasion Ecology. Ecology is defined as the study of interactions between organisms and their natural habitat. Jeschke elaborates using different methods of hypothesis to disclose an unambiguous image of each ‘backbone of science’ as a whole and individually and the ways it is beneficial to us. However, the most important influential invasion hypothesis I believe is Biotic Resistance Hypothesis. The history behind the Biotic Resistance Hypothesis originates from Elton’s conviction involving the heavy invasion of species imperfect systems. Biological Invasions, specifically invasive species are exotic species that cause environmental

Although he was conscious of the stability being replaced by resistance against invaders and the concept of the ecological niche, I believe his argument loses its influence by not centralizing on how we can make invasive species become less harmful in an ecosystem with no diversity rather then completely accepting the concept that invasion decreases when biodiversity increases. He claims that niches are empty when there’s fewer species and filled when there’s more species causing ecosystems with high biodiversity to become more resistant against its invaders. However, the Biotic Resistance Hypothesis has been practically tested in multiple ways by different observers who have shown different …show more content…
Some claim that intruders with low success in groups including close relatives are constrained by the gathering of enemies or competitors. In contrast, invaders with high success in communities including close relatives are predicted to be expedited by more favorable abiotic conditions such as habitat filtering. One theory recommends that there is a limit to niche overlap or comparability in the usage of resources between local species and invading species. Based on the view of systems on rivalry, intrusive species can't produce in a niche similar to native specie. At the region where niches overlap, the species with predominant wellness (aggressive capacity) will win. Furthermore, the diversity effect is correlated to niche apportioning which is observed when assets are parceled as the species of neighboring plants cause coexistence among local
