We conceptualise the impacts of invaders on trophic links as either direct consumption, indirect trophic effects (e.g. cascading interactions, competition) or indirect nontrophic effects (e.g. behaviour mediated).

Co-occurring invasive species and other environmental stressors, such as climate change, will also influence invader impacts on trophic links.
