🚨 new #preprint online! 🚨 We study structure-stability relations in #MultiplexNetworks , using #tree-#liana interaction #networks from #Ghana as inspiration. We show that the stabilising effect of #modularity heavily depends on intra-guild interactions and is largest in case of intra-guild facilitation, highlighting the need to study how patterns in inter- and intraguild interactions jointly affect #EcosystemStability. #TheoreticalEcology #EcologicalNetworks https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.07.17.739155

Stabilising effect of modularity in antagonistic networks depends on intraguild interactions

Existing literature on ecological networks provides valuable insights into the structure-stability relation of antagonistic, mutualistic or competitive systems, but it remains unclear whether these insights also apply to networks that contain a mix of different interaction types. Here, we study the effect of modularity on stability in systems that contain not only antagonistic interactions between two guilds, but also competition, facilitation or even antagonism within each guild, inspired by Gh
