Principal response curves for the foliage invertebrate community.

<p>Figure (A) represents 2007 and figure (B) 2008. The uninvaded plots are expressed as the grey line (y = 0) and the black line is the response of the invertebrate community in the invaded plots, compared to the control (uninvaded), over time. The invertebrates groups on the third axis are ordered in their taxon weight corresponding to the y-axis. Both years are significant at <i>P</i><0.05. For 2007, the first canonical axis explains 95.1% of the total variation where 10.32% is explained by time and 48.19% by treatment. For 2008, the first canonical axis explains 97.7% of the total variation where 7.06% was explained by time and 30.13% by treatment.
