Interactions between taxa are essential drivers of ecological community structure and
dynamics, but they are not taken into account by traditional indices of β diversity. In this
study, we propose a novel family of indices that quantify community similarity in the context
of taxa interaction networks. Using publicly available datasets, we assessed the
performance of two specific indices that are Taxa INteraction-Adjusted (TINA, based on taxa
co-occurrence networks), and Phylogenetic INteraction-Adjusted (PINA, based on …
