Impacts of invasive species on food webs: a review of empirical data
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 …

Mismatch in microbial food webs: predators but not prey perform better in their local biotic and abiotic conditions
Understanding how trophic levels respond to changes in abiotic and biotic conditions is key
for predicting how food webs will react to environmental perturbations. Different trophic …

Top predators affect the composition of naive protist communities, but only in their early-successional stage
Introduced top predators have the potential to disrupt community dynamics when prey
species are naive to predation. The impact of introduced predators may also vary depending …
