What is the La Selva MetaNetwork?
First, a metanetwork is a set of potential interactions within a pre-defined region based on knowledge of interactions that have been observed there, as well as could be observed based on the species present.

Important ecological functions, such as pollination and seed dispersal, are based on the interactions between species. Species interactions are the foundation of the vast biodiversity of the tropics, affecting species distributions and community assembly.
