Rainfall alters network structure, while fragmentation results in the breakdown of a mixed-species group of birds

Understanding the influence of species interactions on community structure and biodiversity is a long-standing goal in ecology. While species interactions are predicted to be vulnerable to environmental change, how the environment influences species interactions is not well understood. We used a network analysis approach to examine how network structure and dissimilarity of one type of mixed-species animal group, army ant-following birds, varied along rainfall and habitat suitability (i.e., frag
