These are all forms of a phenomenon called reproductive interference. In total, the team found 11 independent examples from six major taxonomic classes. This number is a conservative estimate for how common reproductive interference from invasive species might be in the wild, Camacho-Cervantes says, because they only included examples that had been experimentally or observationally demonstrated. This may be part of the reason vulnerable native species are decreasing in numbers.
