Due to increasing global connectivity, global biotic interchange has been escalating, leading to species introductions in regions in which they are not indigenous. Most of these species do not establish and/or do not cause significant impacts, but a small proportion do and can have positive or, more often, negative ecological, economic, and cultural impacts. These species often interact with...

This educational activity aims to test the relationship between the biodiversity of plant communities and their productivity. In two laboratory sessions, students will assemble duckweed communities at different levels of species richness, determine their productivity and measure the traits of the different species. The data collected will be interpreted by applying a biodiversity partitioning...
