Abstract: The relationship between species diversity and biological invasion has become a debate in invasion ecology in recent years. It was widely accepted that richer community was less invasible than poor ones since Elton's classic hypothesis was proposed in 1958. There were some theoretical models and experimental manipulations of diversity to support this view as well. However, more and more field investigations and experiments began to question this classic view,with some new viewpoints introduced . Some important research on the relationship between species diversity and biological invasion after Elton's hypothesis has been reviewed in this paper.
