“…For example, nestedness, a network pattern in which the interactions of less connected species form proper subsets of the interactions of more connected species (Bascompte et al, 2003 ; Landi et al, 2018 ; Ponisio et al, 2019 ), has been used to characterise the structure of liana‐tree networks. Different patterns of nestedness are reported in literature for liana‐tree networks including nested (Sfair et al, 2010 ) and non‐nested (Addo‐Fordjour & Afram, 2021 ; Addo‐Fordjour et al, 2016 , 2021 ; Blick & Burns, 2009 ; Magrach et al, 2016 ; Ofosu‐Bamfo et al, 2019 ) structures. Among the studies that did not find nested structure in liana‐tree networks, some reported anti‐nested structure which depicts non‐random assembly (Addo‐Fordjour & Afram, 2021 ; Addo‐Fordjour et al, 2021 ; Blick & Burns, 2009 ; Magrach et al, 2016 ), while others observed non‐significant nestedness that shows random assembly (Addo‐Fordjour et al, 2016 ; Ofosu‐Bamfo et al, 2019 ).…”
