Heger and J.M. Jeschke -- Hierarchy of Hypotheses or Hierarchy of Predictions? Clarifying Key Concepts in Ecological Research / A.G. Farji-Brener and S.

Fox -- The Hierarchy-of-hypotheses Approach Updated: a Toolbox for Structuring and Analysing Theory, Research and Evidence / T. Heger and J.M. Jeschke -- A Network of Invasion Hypotheses / M. Enders and J.M. Jeschke -- Biotic Resistance and Island Susceptibility Hypotheses / J.M. Jeschke, S. Debille and C.J. Lortie -- Disturbance Hypothesis / R. Nordheimer and J.M. Jeschke -- Invasional Meltdown Hypothesis / R.R. Braga, L. Gómez Aparicio, T. Heger, J.R.S. Vitule and J.M. Jeschke -- Enemy Release Hypothesis / T. Heger and J.M. Jeschke -- Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability and Shifting Defence Hypotheses / C. Müller -- Tens Rule / J.M. Jeschke and P. Pyšek -- Phenotypic Plasticity Hypothesis / O. Torchyk and J.M. Jeschke -- Darwin's Naturalization and Limiting Similarity Hypotheses / J.M. Jeschke and F. Erhard -- Propagule Pressure Hypothesis / J.M. Jeschke and J. Starzer -- Synthesis / J.M. Jeschke and T. Heger -- Conclusions and Outlook / T. Heger and J.M. Jeschke
Summary: There are many hypotheses describing the interactions involved in biological invasions, but it is largely unknown whether they are backed up by empirical evidence. This book fills that gap by assessing research hypotheses and applying it to a number of invasion hypotheses, using the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach.
