Schematic model of the enemy spillover framework showing positive (black) and negative (red) feedbacks, along with context dependence. The framework proposes that the intrinsic fast-growth traits of many successful invasive plants lead to strong positive effects on generalist enemies, which then impact relatively more strongly on more K-selected native plants.
