Multilayer networks reveal the spatial structure of seed-dispersal interactions across the Great Rift landscapes
Species interaction networks have been usually delimited by perceived habitat borders. Here, seed-dispersal is analyzed as a regional multilayer network of interconnected habitats, highlighting the key role of versatile dispersers for the functional cohesion of the whole Gorongosa landscape.
