Ecological networks have a long history in ecology, and a recent increase in network
analyses across environmental gradients has revealed important changes in their structure …

Mutualisms structure ecosystems and mediate their functioning. They also enhance
invasions of many alien species. Invasions disrupt native mutualisms, often leading to …

The concept of ecosystem services (ES) has risen to prominence based on its promise to
vastly improve environmental decision‐making and to represent nature's many benefits to …

Increasing rates of human-caused species invasions and extinctions may reshape
communities and modify the structure, dynamics, and stability of species interactions. To …

This chapter summarizes research on seed dispersal vectors (water, wind and animals), and
the factors (including seed size and chemical composition, and plant habit) that determine …

Understanding and predicting biological invasions is challenging because of the complexity
of many interacting players. A holistic approach is needed with the potential to …

Species interaction networks are traditionally explored as discrete entities with well-defined
spatial borders, an oversimplification likely impairing their applicability. Using a multilayer …

Ecosystems with a mix of native and introduced species are increasing globally as extinction
and introduction rates rise, resulting in novel species interactions. While species interactions …

For a mutualism to remain evolutionarily stable, theory predicts that mutualists should limit
their associations to high‐quality partners. However, most mutualists either simultaneously …

Invasive non‐native species can alter animal‐mediated seed dispersal interactions and
ultimately affect the stability of recipient communities. The degree of such disturbances …
