The paper examines how functional niche attributes influence species interaction roles in ecological networks, finding that niche variability inversely affects interaction variability and that these effects depend on species biomass and community composition.

The paper examines how multitrophic species interaction networks influence ecosystem multifunctionality and finds that network structure, including niche overlap and linkage density, significantly affects ecosystem function.

The paper examines how tree diversity and canopy cover affect host-parasitoid community composition and interaction networks in a subtropical tree biodiversity experiment.

This study shows that higher tree species diversity enhances forest temperature buffering across multiple time scales, mediated by canopy density and structural diversity.
