Table 1 Summary list of newly examined invasion science hypothesis tested for (1) phylogenetic patterns and (2) biogeographical patterns.
Test | Hypothesis | Outcomes | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
(1) Phylogenetic patterns of invasive species | |||
1.1 Phylosignal with PhyloD | Random evolution | D = 1 | Purely random emergence |
Brownian/Neutral evolution | D = 0 | Strong neutral clumping | |
Neither Random nor Brownian | 1 > D > 1 | Moderate relatedness | |
Null | 1 = D = 1 | Inconclusive | |
1.2 Diversification rates | Diversification alien promotion | % ~ Div. | Rate of evolution favour invasiveness emergence |
Null | % × Div. | No relationship | |
(2) Biogeographical patterns of invasive species | |||
Phylodiversity with SES PD | Generalized regional invasiveness | PD invas = PD all | Ample regional alien diversity produced |
Restricted lineage invasiveness | PD invas < PD all | Reduced regional alien diversity produced | |
