Abiotic Factors[edit]
Abiotic factors serve as the first filter of invasive species within a respective habitat.

Easily Invaded Habitats
Invasive plants tend to thrive in nutrient-rich and man-made habitats. (Maskell)

Factors of Less Invasive Habitats
There is low levels of invasion in harsh climates and habitats with poor nutrients (Maskell).

ARTICLE EVALUATION: "Japanese white-eye in Hawaii"


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Most things in the article are very relevant to the topic. The article describes the the effects these birds have on the birds in Hawaii and the effect they have on the plants in Hawaii in depth. Only thing that "distracted" me was the Taxon Cycle but later showed to be an important piece of explaining the stages they invaded.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Yes the article is neutral. The facts are presented with no bias.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? They spent a lot of time focusing on the study and its results to prove correlation between the invasion of these birds and the decrease of the native birds. They could take out one or two lines to be more concise but overall is good at staying to the point.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Yes the links work and the citations correspond with the article.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? There are some facts without citations. I think they could have used a few more citations on information that is obviously from a source and not common knowledge. The articles used are unbiased and reliable. Almost all of the sources are peer review articles.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The last edit to the page was in 2016 so the information could be updated to see the long lasting effects of this species. With that being said most of the information has not changed and could be considered up to date.
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Not many conversations and edits have been made to this page, the onlt thing discussed was adding it to the projects that are given below.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? Start-Class and Low to Mid Importance. WikiProject Birds, WikiProject Hawaii, WikiProject East Asia.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? It is very similar to the way we talk about the cats invading Hawaii but instead of these birds having NO competition they have malaria resistance that the native birds do not.

-invasibility of the recipient habitat or ecosystem is dependent on the structure of the resident ecological network and is defined as the total width of an opportunity niche in the trait space susceptible to invasion. Invasibility is thus a measure of network instability.(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10530-016-1076-7) Kleidhold01 (talk) 14:33, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
