We use ecological networks and other modelling approaches to address a variety of community ecology questions.

In this project, Bayesian networks are used to estimate species probability to go extinct under different settings.

We are looking for relationships between species' traits (e.g., body size, metabolic category) and their roles in a set of well-resolved marine networks.

This project explores whether and how the predictions for species loss are altered by the inclusion of the trophic niche, compared to other network-based approaches.

Understanding requirements and mechanisms for a species to succesfully track a climatic shift while being able to find its role and establish itself in new ecological network is one of the outstanding challenges for ecological research today.

We use mathematical and statistical models in order to analyse how ecological networks are structured and the factors that are driving the structural properties we see.

Many species will become extinct as a consequence of global warming. This is the prediction of a mathematical model developed at LiU. The simulations show that climate change will have a particularly large impact on ecosystems in polar regions.

New methods can make it easier to predict the ecological role that a species will play when it is introduced into a new habitat. In a new study, researchers at Linköping University predict ecological roles based on easily-collected species traits.

What happens in ecosystems when the habitats of different species disappear? When plants and animals lose their habitats, predator species at the top of the food chain die out first, according to a new study by scientists at Linköping University.
