A final way humans impact selection regimes is by facilitating biological invasions. For example, it has been argued that because freshwater habitats represent a more complex matrix of interacting abiotic and biotic components, invading freshwater species can more easily affect the properties and functions of their ecosystems than terrestrial taxa (Moorhouse & Macdonald 2015). Invasive species can also alter selection regimes in communities in a less direct way, by transmitting diseases or by altering abiotic conditions (via poisoning, bio-fouling or changing other ecosystem properties, Blackburn et al. 2014). These processes not only affect selection regimes, but can also facilitate further invasions (Ricciardi 2001; Green et al.2011). Invasive species effects may also be transmitted between ecosystem in s through various linkages, such as when invasive plants alter nutrient flows between terrestrial and freshwater habitats (Stewart et al. 2019).
