Species functional traits and abundance as drivers of multiplex ecological networks: first empirical quantification of inter-layer edge weights.

Abstract excerpt

Many vertebrate species act as both plant pollinators and seed-dispersers, thus interconnecting these processes, particularly on islands. Ecological multilayer networks are a powerful tool to explore interdependencies between processes; however, quantifying the links between species engaging in different types of interactions (i.e. inter-layer edges) remains a great challenge. Here, we empirically measured...
