I studied whether the seeds of exotics (6 species) are less impacted by seed predators and seed fungal pathogens than the seeds of their related natives (5 species). Seed survival of both plant groups was improved by fungicide application and by predator exclosures. I did not find evidence that exotic species would benefit from lower enemy pressure.
