Cool you set this up and neat paper, but not sure about the author of the paper. JK. Great one to read.
Yeah, it's pretty interesting. It seems like increasing biodiversity with increasing environmental heterogeniety is a natural consequence of scaling up- when you scale up from the homogeneous patches (where invasion decreases the native diversity), you're by necessity including lots of little homogeneous patches (in that large scale heterogeneous neighborhood), so invasion successes and native diversity will naturally both increase. It's a cool synthesis of the idea.
