Climate Impacts on Lake Food‐Webs Are Mediated by Biological Invasions

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
Climate change and invasive species are major threats to biodiversity, but their combined effects are often overlooked. By analyzing fish communities in French lakes, we found that climate warming negatively impacts size and trophic diversities. However, these effects are largely mediated by the warming‐induced increase in exotic species richness ...
