Highlights
Invasion ecology boasts an impressive array of hypotheses, frameworks, and concepts that have been developed to explain how non-native species establish in and dominate native ecosystems (“invasion success”) (Blackburn et al, 2011; Catford, Jansson, & Nilsson, 2009)
In a recent article in Ecology and Evolution (O’Loughlin & Green, 2017), we proposed (1) a novel framework for understanding where invasion success of one non-native species is contingent on other invaders altering properties of the recipient community, and (2) argued that the term “secondary invasion” be used to describe that particular phenomenon
We reply to arguments made by Pearson et al (2018) and reaffirm our position (O’Loughlin & Green, 2017) that “secondary invasion” be applied in cases of invader- facilitated invasions
