Functional niche attributes shape species interaction roles in ecological networks

Identifying how species interact in ecological networks is key to understanding species' contributions to ecosystem functioning, but can be difficult to establish in species-rich communities. Functional niches, which capture broader ecological strategies, are often easier to assess and could help approximate species' interaction roles. We tested this by integrating species interaction and leaf…
