A new tool to improve the estimates of interaction rewiring considering the whole community composition

Understanding temporal dynamics in ecological networks is crucial to predicting their capability to cope with global changes. Despite this, proper quantification of network dynamics still remains a challenge. Temporal dynamics are typically studied using data of interaction networks over time, through the evaluation of interaction turnover and its two components: changes related to species turnover (species gains and losses) or rewiring (switching partners among the set of species shared over time). However, with this approach based exclusively on network data, dynamics are computed similarly for species that are truly missing from the community at a given temporal period, and for species occurring in the community but that do not interact with any other. This might lead to an underestimation of the real extent of rewiring, while overestimating the species turnover component of interaction turnover.
