Background. The life-history traits of non-native species are believed to change in a predictable manner in relation to time since introduction, with populations in the early stages of establishment predicted to invest more energy into reproduction than long-established populations, mainly due to lower intraspecific competition for resources.

Despite this, the majority of hitherto conducted studies have investigated long-established populations only, very few focusing on newly established populations ( |
