Multi-layer networks reveal changes in plant-bird interactions driven by invasive species [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Biological invasions can strongly disrupt ecosystems, reshaping their structure and functioning. We investigate how two widespread invasive parrots –the rose-ringed parakeet Psittacula krameri and the monk parakeet Myiopsitta monachus- affect plant-bird ...
