“…logging; Broadbent et al., 2008; Laurance et al., 2011; Lôbo, Leão, Melo, Santos, & Tabarelli, 2011). These disturbances result in physical gaps in the canopy, which increase light levels and thus facilitate the establishment of introduced exotic propagules (Döbert, Webber, Sugau, Dickinson, & Didham, 2017a; Peters, 2001; Teo, Tan, Corlett, Wong, & Lum, 2003; Waddell, Banin, et al., 2020). Many exotic species are not well adapted to closed canopy, intact forests, however, and habitat filtering may mean that only a few shade‐tolerant species present in the landscape can establish and persist in these environments (Dawson, Burslem, & Hulme, 2009; Koike, 2001; Martin & Marks, 2006).…”
