We contrasted assemblages from sites surrounded by intact and modified landscapes and tested four key hypotheses that agricultural transformation leads to (H1) declines in species richness, (H2) altered assemblages, (H3) declines in overall co-occurrence, and (H4) complex restructuring of pairwise associations. We found that modified landscapes differed in composition but not richness compared with intact sites. Modified landscapes were also characterized by differences in co-occurrence network structure; with species sharing fewer sites with each other (reduced co-occurrence connectance), fewer highly-connected species (truncation of the frequency distribution of co-occurrence degree) and increased modularity of co-occurrence networks. Critically, overall loss of co-occurrence was underpinned by complex changes to the number and distribution of pair-wise co-occurrence links, with 41–44% of species also gaining associations with other species. Change in co-occurrence was not correlated with changes in occupancy, nor by functional trait membership, allowing a novel classification of species susceptibility to agricultural transformation. Our study reveals the value of using co-occurrence analysis to uncover impacts of agricultural transformation that may be masked in conventional studies of species richness and community composition. © 2017 The Authors]]> Thu 26 May 2022 11:39:59 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:16188 Thu 23 Jun 2022 14:20:59 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:16177 Thu 23 Jun 2022 11:36:23 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15903 Mon 04 Apr 2022 13:58:11 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15888 Mon 04 Apr 2022 12:41:10 AEST ]]>
