A post doc position (1+1 year) in the project Biotic resistance in fish communities is available. Project description: There is large variation between natural communities in their susceptibility to invasions, and we have a poor understanding of the underlying mechanisms. In this project we use information about >1200 introductions of fish species to Swedish lakes to examine what properties of ecological communities that make them resistant to invasive species. The project has a focus on development of general theory for invasion ecology and niche theory, but it will also generate knowledge that can be used in management. The project is run in collaboration with Prof. David Wardle and Yun Ju at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
