Intact tropical forests are generally considered to be resistant invasions by exotic species, although the shrub Clidemia hirta (Melastomataceae) is highly invasive in outside its native range. Release from natural enemies (e.g., herbivores and pathogens) contributes C. invasion success where melastomes absent, here we examine role of when co-occurs with Melastomataceae species associated patho...
