Plant and animal functional diversity drive mutualistic network assembly across an elevational gradient

Plant and animal functional diversity drive mutualistic network assembly across an elevational gradient

Differential responses of plant and animal functional diversity to climatic variation could affect trait matching in mutualistic interactions. Here, Albrecht et al. show that network structure varies across an elevational gradient owing to bottom-up and top-down effects of functional diversity.
