Science - Botany / invasive plants versus native plants
Spanish term or phrase: "mercado de flores"
Un estudio pionero demuestra con pruebas empíricas cómo las especies de plantas invasoras de ecosistemas mediterráneos, como la chumbera [prickly pear], pueden robar los polinazadores [pollinating insects] a las nativas, o, sorprendentement atraerlos beneficiando a toda la red, como el bálsamo [balsam]. El trabajo contradice la hipótesis del "mercado de flores" en la que sólo las invasoras se ven beneficiados y las nativas pierden las visitas.

Thank you!

p.s. I cannot find any botany sites with "flower market/market of flowers"...

Successful invasion of a floral market : Article : Nature

Invasive plants can displace native species through competition for nutrients, water, light and space. Here we show that they may also exert indirect pressure by competing for pollinators.

Michele´s version "floral market sounds right". I was thinking of the market itself not the name of the hypothesis ...
