The invasion of non-native species can sometimes lead to large and unexpected ecosystem shifts, as Douglas Kamaru and colleagues demonstrate in a unique, careful study that traces the links between ...

Biologists have challenged old notions that communities with mutualistic interactions -- where the presence of one species benefits another -- are unstable. Their model, instead, shows that such ...

What is a business without a vibrant ecosystem? Barren and destined for oblivion. At least that's how enterprise software companies seem to think based on all the ecosystems (some mutually beneficial ...
