Well, to take a higher ecological viewpoint, I would suggest that 
'the priority effect' may be at play here.

i.e. the prescence of a species that arrived first, can have an 
effect on the species that arrive later.

This can often result in unbalanced, asymmetric, competitive 
interactions.

So, to my hypothesis: Competitve priority effects may be occuring 
here.
