    1. On the other hand, range preservation is also associated with ecological interactions, once connected species can be protected of climate change and invasion

      I'm not sure I understand this argument

    1. First

      It would be interesting to know the proportion of interacting species pairs in Europe that were predicted by the model (a bit like what you did in the following paragraphs).

    2. ρ

      I am not sure I understand this inequality. How can a matrix be >= to a real number?

      I'm guessing you meant that each element of the matrix = 1 if the corresponding element in multiplied matrices is more than p, and 0 otherwise? I think we should make it more explicit and mathematically correct.

    3. XXX species

      Were there any species in the mammalian European metaweb not connected to any other species? Since we made sure all species had at least one interaction in the Canadian metaweb, I think it would be important to know if this is also the case in the mammalian European subgraph. If this was the case, did you keep them in the network?

    1. A promising application of machine learning in natural sciences is Scientific-Machine Learning (SciML), a framework that combines machine learning with mechanistic models

      I'm wondering if we should remove this sentence. I feel it doesn't flow very well and we don't really talk about SciML later in the text.

    1. This could potentially be solved through our framework of predicting networks first, interactions next, and finally the realized species pool.

      I think this might be confusing, as readers could think this is the actual framework of our paper. We could maybe precise that we could use our framework the other way around, by using our predictions of ecological networks and species interactions to make better predictions of species pools.

    2. all interactions occur between species in each pool

      I think this definition of bipartite network is a little confusing. We could say something like:

      "Bipartite networks are divided into two disjoint sets of species and interactions occur between members of different sets (e.g. plant-pollinator and host-parasite networks)"
