Congratulations to Olivia who has published her first paper, in Nature Communications !
The paper investigates whether or not species—when introduced to a new location—eventually become invasive has been linked to the specices’ capacity to expand its niche. However, the authors show that the extent of niche shift is smaller in non-invasive than invasive ant species, questioning this established hypothesis.
