Functional responses
We assigned all identified species to one of the following guilds: herbivore, parasitoid, predator, or saprophagous (Table S13). We characterized guild patterns using two functional indices, namely Functional Richness and Rao’s quadratic entropy, and the community-weighted mean of each gild (CWM) (Botta-Dukát, 2005; Lavorel et al., 2007) (function dbFD , package ‘FD’ (Laliberté et al., 2014)). We assessed guilds’ responses to the community dynamics throughout the treatments, described by the NMDS ordination (functionenvit , package ‘vegan’), evaluating the strength of these relationships through the squared correlation coefficient (r2).
