Downsizing of animal communities triggers stronger functional than structural decay in seed-dispersal networks

Species loss from ecological networks can impair network stability and ecosystem function. Here the authors simulate animal extinctions in interaction networks between plants and avian frugivores, showing that frugivore extinctions have comparatively weak effects on network structure, but strongly r...
