Hypothesis networks map major hypotheses. They structure and provide an overview of existing theory. Through the hierarchy-of-hypotheses approach ([https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.14.3435 <u>Jeschke et al. 2012</u>], [https://doi.org/10.1007/s13280-012-0379-x <u>Heger et al. 2013</u>], [https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biaa130 <u>Heger et al. 2021</u>]), hypothesis networks can be hierarchically structured and connected to empirical studies and data. Thus far, we have created several hypothesis networks, two of them are available as hierarchical interactive networks that can be interactively explored (other hypothesis networks in invasion biology, which were created by other methods, are available in [https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.2146 <u>Enders et al. 2018</u>] and [https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.47.32608 <u>Enders et al. 2019</u>]):

[https://v2020.hi-knowledge.org/invasion-biology-large/ Interactive, hierarchically structured network] showing clusters of 39 invasion hypotheses, based on [https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13082 <u>Enders et al. (2020)</u>] and the book Invasion Biology: Hypotheses and Evidence ([https://doi.org/10.1079/9781780647647.0000 <u>Jeschke &amp; Heger 2018</u>]). The hierarchical structure was achieved by applying the hierarchy-of-hypotheses approach. This tool is an extension of the smaller network with 12 hypotheses.
