  abstract = {{D}escribing how communities change over space and time is crucial to better understand and predict the functioning of ecosystems. {W}e propose a new methodological framework, based on network theory and modularity concept, to determine which type of mechanisms (i.e. deterministic versus stochastic processes) has the strongest influence on structuring communities. {T}his framework is based on the computation and comparison of two networks: the co-occurrence (based on species abundances) and the functional networks (based on the species traits values). {I}n this way we can assess whether the species belonging to a given functional group also belong to the same co-occurrence group. {W}e adapted the {D}g index of {G}auzens et al. (2015) to analyze congruence between both networks. {T}his offers the opportunity to identify which assembly rule(s) play(s) the major role in structuring the community. {W}e illustrate our framework with two datasets corresponding to different faunal groups and ecosystems, and characterized by different scales (spatial and temporal scales). {B}y considering both species abundance and multiple functional traits, our framework improves significantly the ability to discriminate the main assembly rules structuring the communities. {T}his point is critical not only to understand community structuring but also its response to global changes and other disturbances.},
