I think that these factors are :the type of radiation , the duration of exposure to the radiation and the amount of radiation exposure. Radiation is commonly used to treat many medical conditions. Frequently used as a therapy for various forms of cancer, it is common for radiation to cause death of cells both cancerous and healthy cells in the areas irradiated. The extent of damage caused depends on the type of radiation irradiated, the duration of exposure and the amount of radiation.

There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.
