Each complex network (or class of networks) presents specific topological features which
characterize its connectivity and highly influence the dynamics of processes executed on the …

The mutually beneficial interactions between plants and their animal pollinators and seed
dispersers have been paramount in the generation of Earth's biodiversity. These mutualistic …

The strength of weak ties is that they tend to be long—they connect socially distant locations,
allowing information to diffuse rapidly. The authors test whether this “strength of weak ties” …

Electronic databases, from phone to e-mails logs, currently provide detailed records of
human communication patterns, offering novel avenues to map and explore the structure of …

Since the discovery of small-world and scale-free networks the study of complex systems
from a network perspective has taken an enormous flight. In recent years many important …

Network analysis is an approach to research that is uniquely suited to describing, exploring,
and understanding structural and relational aspects of health. It is both a methodological tool …

The various behavioral disciplines model human behavior in distinct and incompatible ways.
Yet, recent theoretical and empirical developments have created the conditions for …

Networks are widely used in the biological, physical, and social sciences as a concise
mathematical representation of the topology of systems of interacting components …

To facilitate the analysis of real and simulated data on groups, organizations and societies,
tools and measures are needed that can handle relational or network data that is multi …

We propose frameworks and algorithms for identifying communities in social networks that
change over time. Communities are intuitively characterized as" unusually densely knit" …
