Aquatic biological invasions exacerbate nutritional and health inequities

This research extends the concept of nutritional networks (developed by and continuing to evolve within FERG) to social-ecological networks. The flow of nutrients through ecological systems naturally influences the nutrients available to people, and this will differ between socioeconomic groups. In the case of fisheries, one of the key impacts to their ecology is the introduction of non-native species, which can be reservoirs for unique nutrients and toxins, whilst also altering the availability of native species through competition and direct predation. This paper discusses all of this and proposes some really exciting future directions for this research.

This was a really exciting paper to collaborate on and will hopefully be just the start of some really exciting and impactful research to arise from this collaboration!
