Networking Nutrients: Nutrients as a Driver of Invertebrate Interactions with The Biological Recording Company

Nutrients are one of the most fundamental drivers of interactions between species. How nutrients drive foraging by invertebrates in nature has traditionally been difficult to study, but modern methods pave the way for an enhanced understanding of invertebrate nutritional dynamics. Jordan will describe how we can study the influence of nutrients on foraging, the structure of interactions across whole ecosystems and the implications for ecosystem services like biocontrol of crop pests.

Jordan Cuff is a research fellow based in Newcastle University and leads the Foraging Ecology Research Group. Jordan’s research uses molecular methods to study the interactions between invertebrates and the factors that drive and constrain those interactions.
