| Abstract | An intrinsic property of invaders that determines many of the effects they produce in the areas they colonize is their great abundance. However, a lack of data generally hampers the exploration of the complex interactions of factors that regulate the abundance of most invasive populations. This lack of data generally hinders the understanding of the invasion process and, more specifically, interferes with the management of these populations. This paper uses hierarchical complex models to investigate how temperature, humidity, competitive interactions and resource availability affect the growth rates of naturalized populations of two invaders in the Brazilian Savanna: the African Drosophila simulans and Zaprionus indianus. We also assess how morphological (life-history) and demographic traits mediate these effects. Our results suggest that the population growth rates of both species depend on complex interactions between several of the studied variables but are regulated primarily by rapid and direct responses to resource availability. We found evidence that resources determine immediate oviposition rates, inducing a very rapid regulation of population sizes (in one generation, i.e., approximately 1 month). Our study also demonstrates a lower predictability for Z. indianus and we suggest that this finding is a result of the shorter evolutionary history of Z. indianus in the Brazilian Savanna. These results, valid for the system we have investigated, if validated by other studies, will help to increase the mechanistic understanding of invasions and may contribute to the development of effective management strategies to mitigate their effects on natural and agro-ecosystems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
