Getting more by asking for less: Linking species interactions to species co-distributions in metacommunities by Barbier, Matthieu, Bunin, Guy, Leibold, Mathew A.

“…Using a model of competitive metacommunity dynamics where direct species interactions are assumed to be context-independent, we show that inferring these interactions accurately from cross-species correlations is a major challenge under all but the most restrictive assumptions. However, we also find that it is possible to estimate the statistical moments (mean value and variance) of the species interactions distribution much more robustly, even if the precise values cannot be inferred. …”
