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 …

We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

Host-associated bacterial communities can function as an important line of defence against
pathogens in animals and plants. Empirical evidence and theoretical predictions suggest …

Soil is increasingly under environmental pressures that alter its capacity to fulfil essential
ecosystem services. To maintain these crucial soil functions, it is important to know how soil …

Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of
different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …

Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with
accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems …

Biological invasions are one of the most important ecological disturbances that threaten
native biodiversity. An expected increase in the rate of species extinction will have major …

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented
level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world …

Pioneering investigations on the effects of introduced populations on community structure,
ecosystem functioning and services have focused on the effects of invaders on taxonomic …

Host‐associated fungi can help protect plants from pathogens, and empirical evidence
suggests that such microorganisms can be manipulated by introducing probiotic to increase …
