style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What<\/span>: \u00a0The analysis of ecological networks (e.g., food webs, plant-pollinator networks) has provided myriad insights into the structure, function and dynamics of communities and ecosystems. However, ecological networks have mostly been studied as isolated or aggregated systems, an approach that neglects the variation and dependence between different layers of ecological data that may be crucial to their functioning. Ecological multilayer networks is a framework that can incorporate dependence among networks but it poses new empirical and theoretical challenges.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The goal of this PhD project is to develop theory and methodology for the analysis of ecological multilayer networks and to use these developments to analyze EMLNs of different kinds.<\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The project will include cutting-edge network analysis applied to a variety of data sets.
