Functional groups in changing ecological networks

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Anna Eklöf1 1Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden When species shift distributions due to changed climatic conditions novel species interactions are formed. Several species may simultaneously enter new areas and there establish in a new ecological network consisting of  hundreds of new species. One key question when aiming to understand species range shifts are if and…
