We also found that species with higher diet similarity are more likely to exhibit co-occurrence patterns that diverge from expectations, in both directions.
Summary: We developed a method that allowed us to discover the effect of multiple driving variables on the co-occurrence of species. We looked at hundreds of species of bats and birds in the neotropics and found that phylogenetic relatedness was the strongest cause of co-occurrence.
Pleased to share that I have a new paper out today. This paper took over seven years to complete but we are very pleased with the outcome! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
