This study shows how evolution can trigger abrupt extinction events in ecological networks through self-organized dynamics, highlighting the role of interaction types in biodiversity loss.

The paper uses an eco-evolutionary model to show how mutualism and antagonism interact to influence diversification in ecological networks, finding that trait correlation affects diversification rates across guilds.

The paper models coevolutionary transitions between mutualism and antagonism, showing ecological changes can trigger bidirectional shifts and identifying a tipping point for mutualism breakdown.
