Impact of invasive species and disturbance on pollinator networks in Ogasawara

合作研究的目的是评估栖息地丧失和外来物种引入对小川群岛授粉互动网络的影响。为此，需要博士后研究员和她在设计和进行长期生态实地研究方面的经验和她在分析相互作用网络方面的技能，以及我在昆虫生物学、动物行为(特别是膜翅目)以及协调驻日本的国际研究项目方面的长期经验相结合。博士后奖学金取得了很高的成果。尽管新冠肺炎造成了延误，但详尽的实地工作已经有效完成，第一批结果非常有希望。虽然合作还没有发表任何论文，但玛尔塔已经开始分析，不久的将来将准备至少三篇影响较大的文章。这位研究员将在她在西班牙和JSPS的新职位上继续为该项目工作，TMU将在所有科学成果中得到认可。更多的合作研究项目正在进行中。除了研究成果，玛尔塔还为TMU的学生做出了非常重要的贡献。她培养了野外生态学研究方法的硕士和本科生，并教授他们野外基础动物学和植物学。

The goal of the collaborative research was to asses the impacts of habitat loss and introduction of alien species on the pollination interaction networks of the Ogasawara Islands. To this end, it was needed to join forces between the postdoctoral fellow and her experience on designing and conducting long-term ecological field researches and her skills on analysis of mutualistic interaction networks and my long experience on insect biology, animal behavior, with special focus on Hymenoptera, and coordination of international research projects based in Japan.The post-doctoral fellowship has been highly fruitful. The exhaustive field work has been effectively accomplished and the first results are very promising, despite the delays that imposed by COVID-19. While no papers have yet been published from the collaboration, Marta has started the analysis and at least three high-impact articles will be prepared in the near future. The fellow will continue working on the project in her new position in Spain and JSPS and the TMU will be acknowledged in all scientific output. Additional collaborative research projects are ongoing.In addition to research outputs, Marta has made a very significant contribution to students at TMU. She has formed master and undergraduate students in the methods of field-based ecological research and taught them basic zoology and botany in the field.
