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 shows that trait dissimilarity-based tree species loss affects how tree diversity influences herbivory and pathogen infestation, with functional diversity playing a key role.

The paper shows that species loss in southern boreal understories has slowed functional diversity gains, highlighting functional erosion risks despite stable taxonomic diversity.
