We demonstrate that graph-based models are fully capable of representing higher-order interactions, and have a long history of being used for precisely this purpose. This stands in contrast to a commo...

Can we actually infer their presence just by looking at species abundance time-series? We built an idealized computational pipeline to find out... the surprising answer is no!
