Kuebbing & Nuñez, Nature Plants Invasive nonnative plants have a greater effect on neighboring natives than other nonnatives Supplementary Table 3 Mean effect size (Hedges’ d+), biased-corrected 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals (CI, in parentheses), and sample size (n, in brackets) of the impacts of a neighbor plant on a target plant for the following treatment groups: species pair, experimental design, habitat type, life stage (target plant), growth form (neighbor and target), life cycle (neighbor and target), and response variable. For each group, we measured the total heterogeneity among the group (QB) and compared total group heterogenetiy to a chi-square distribution to estimate P-value using random effect models. Bolded values are effect sizes with confidence intervals that do not overlap 0. When we found a significant QB statistic (P < 0.1) across all observations, we report the mean effect size, CI, sample size, QB statistic, and p-value for observations within each species pair category (i.e., native-native, native-nonnative, nonnative-native, nonnative-nonnative).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION DOI: 10.1038/NPLANTS.2016.134Kuebbing & Nuñez, Nature Plants Invasive nonnative plants have a greater effect on neighboring natives than other nonnatives Extended Data Figure 1 Naturalized nonnative target plants had a higher performance than invasive nonnative target plants with neighboring plants (QB = 4.23, d.f. = 1, P = 0.04), regardless of whether then native was a native (QB = 11.97, d.f. = 1, P = 0.001) or a nonnative (QB = 5.44, d.f. = 1, P = 0.02). Positive mean effect sizes indicate that target plant species have higher performance in the presence of a heterospecific neighbor relative to a conspecific neighbor or no neighbor. Error bars represent 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals of the mean, and effect size is significant when the confidence intervals do not cross zero. Sample sizes for each mean effect are found below the point.

Kuebbing & Nuñez, Nature Plants Invasive nonnative plants have a greater effect on neighboring natives than other nonnatives Extended Data Figure 2 The presence or absence of herbivores influenced the direction of the mean effect size (Hedges’ d+) of neighboring native plant species on the performance or fitness of a target nonnative plant species. This effect was significant for observations testing for the relative strength of interspecific and intraspecific interactions (a; relative competitive experiments; QB = 6.55, d.f. = 1, P = 0.01), but not when the observations were testing for the total competition intensity between two species (b; relative neighbor experiments: QB = 0.66, d.f. = 2, P = 0.42). We do not present data for species pairs when the number of observations was less than two. Values are mean effect sizes (Hedges’ d+), and negative values indicate that target plant species have lower performance in the presence of a heterospecific neighbor relative to a conspecific neighbor (a) or no neighbor (b). Error bars represent 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals of the mean, and effect size is significant when the confidence intervals do not cross zero. Sample sizes for each mean effect are found below the point. Statistical tests are described in detail in the Methods.

Kuebbing & Nuñez, Nature Plants Invasive nonnative plants have a greater effect on neighboring natives than other nonnatives Supplementary Equations 1 We calculated the effect size (Hedges’ d+) for each observation of the mean performance of a target plant grown with a neighbor plant (Xn) or the mean performance of a target plant grown without a neighbor plant (Xa). This metric is weighted by the sample size (Nn) and standard deviation (sn) for the target plant grown with a neighbor and the sample size (Na) and standard deviation (sa) for the target plant grown without a neighbor. Hedges’ d for each observation is calculated as the following:

! = ! (!! − !!!)! !!

where S is the pooled standard deviation

! = !! (!! − 1)(!!)! + (!! − 1)(!!)!!! + !!! − 2 !

and J is a weighting factor that corrects for bias due to small sample size

! = !1− 34 !! + !!! − 2 − 1

The variance (v) for each observation is calculated as the following:

! = !!! + !!!

!!!! !+ !!!2 !! + !!!

The combined mean effect size (dc) across studies for the fixed-effect model is weighted by the following weighting factor (w = 1/v) and calculated as follows:

!! = !!"!

To estimate the variance (v*) for the random-effects model for a given number of observations (k), we calculate the following constant (c) and pooled within-class variance component (!2pooled):
