(X → Z: from native to exotic; Z → X: from exotic to native) are measured in terms of niche overlap (Schoener’s D) and P means statistical significance. Expansion and Stability are proportions of the non-overlapping and overlapping exotic niche, respectively, with the native niche. Unfilling is the proportion of the native niche available, but non-occupied in the exotic niche.
