How network theory can help understand and predict biological invasions

Understanding and predicting biological invasions is challenging because of the large number and complexity of interacting players. A recent study by a team of international researchers, including former C·I·B post-doctoral associate Wolf-Christian Saul, reviews the findings from network ecology...

Novel and disrupted trophic links following invasion in freshwater ecosystems

Freshwater ecosystems are under threat from many stressors, including climate change, pollution, habitat destruction and the invasion of non-native species. These stressors can have direct impacts on individuals (e.g. survival, reproduction), populations (e.g. range, abundance) and communities (e.g. biodiversity, richness).
