9.
Drake ( 1991 ) used an assembly model to demonstrate that different community types would result from different sequences of species invasions.
10.
Nevertheless, it is difficult to unequivocally attribute extinctions to a species invasion, and the few scientific studies that have done so have been with animal taxa.
