Extinction order affects community composition under strong competition and asymmetric species interactions

Extinction is a fundamental process impacting how community compositions change though time. Despite this, relatively few studies have examined how the order of species loss in multispecies extinction sequences can differentially impact the composition of the resulting disassembled community, known as an inverse priority effect. Here, we investigate the prevalence and predictors of inverse…
