Ecological interactions are one of the main aspects of biodiversity. All organisms rely upon interactions with organisms of other species to feed, reproduce, or defend against natural enemies. These multiple interactions among organisms connect populations of different species. At community level, these linked populations form networks and the structure of ecological networks shape and is shaped by ecological and evolutionary processes.
Our main interest in our lab is to understand the origin, maintenance and fragility of large-scale patterns in ecological networks, in terms of ecological and evolutionary processes that operate at different scales. To do that, we combine empirical data of ecological interactions, information on the natural history of interacting species, mathematical modelling, and network science.
