Since its emergence in the mid-20th century, invasion biology has matured into a productive research field addressing questions of fundamental and applied importance. Not only number empirical studies increased through time, but also competing, overlapping and, some cases, contradictory hypotheses about biological invasions. To make these contradictions redundancies explicit, to gain insight field's current theoretical structure, we developed Delphi approach create consensus network 39...
Abstract Invasion biology is a thriving ecological research field, and confusingly many hypotheses, concepts, ideas about biological invasions populate today's literature. Moreover, some of these hypotheses are very similar, whereas others contradict each other. It not clear whether in such situation plausible global relational structure—or map—of emerges the minds involved researchers and, if so, how this map can be reliably reconstructed from expertise individuals. Here, we report results...
In the current era of Big Data, existing synthesis tools such as formal meta-analyses are critical means to handle deluge information. However, there is a need for complementary that help (a) organize evidence, (b) theory, and (c) closely connect evidence theory. We present hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach address these issues. an HoH, hypotheses conceptually visually structured in hierarchically nested way where lower branches can be directly connected empirical results. Used...
Invasion biology has been quickly expanding in the last decades so that it is now metaphorically flooded with publications, concepts, and hypotheses. Among experts, there no clear consensus about relationships between invasion almost one seems to have a good overview of literature anymore. Similar observations can be made for other research fields. Science needs new navigation tools researchers within outside field as well science journalists, students, teachers, practitioners,...
