Species invasion<br />

Can species x invade environment y<br />

(i.e. grow when [globally] rare)<br />

How fast does the range of species x expand Does range<br />

expansion decelerate, accelerate, or stabilize over time<br />

What matters<br />

life history (birth/death rates)<br />

competition<br />
