Host-enemy interactions provide limited biotic resistance for a range-expanding species via reduced apparent competition Open
As species ranges shift in response to anthropogenic change, they lose coevolved or coadapted interactions and gain novel ones in recipient communities. Range-expanding species may lose or experience weak antagonistic interactions with com…
