The effect of temporal variability on species interactions and community assembly
Despite increasing evidence of temporal variation in species interactions as a response to environmental conditions, most theoretical frameworks remain rooted in static assumptions. But understanding these processes is fundamental to predict the fate and assembly of ecological communities under continuous variation of external drivers. Here, I will present an ecological framework with temporal networks thanks to rich multi-annual datasets subjected to interannual changes in rainfall, obtaining signed directed and weighted interactions. Environmental anomalies produce contrasting effects on the temporal networks' structure, the opportunities to coexist, and the species' overall performance.
