[HTML][HTML] Nestedness in complex networks: observation, emergence, and implications

MS Mariani, ZM Ren, J Bascompte, CJ Tessone - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
The observed architecture of ecological and socio-economic networks differssignificantly
from that of random networks. From a network science standpoint, non-random structural …

Pollination by nocturnal L epidoptera, and the effects of light pollution: a review

CJ MacGregor, MJO Pocock, R Fox… - Ecological …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
1. Moths (L epidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their
importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have …

A method for detecting modules in quantitative bipartite networks

CF Dormann, R Strauss - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Ecological networks are often composed of different subcommunities (often referred to as
modules). Identifying such modules has the potential to develop a better understanding of …

Indices, graphs and null models: analyzing bipartite ecological networks

CF Dormann, J Fründ, N Blüthgen, B Gruber - 2009 - publications.goettingen-research …
Many analyses of ecological networks in recent years have introduced new indices to
describe network properties. As a consequence, tens of indices are available to address …

The robustness and restoration of a network of ecological networks

MJO Pocock, DM Evans, J Memmott - Science, 2012 - science.org
Understanding species' interactions and the robustness of interaction networks to species
loss is essential to understand the effects of species' declines and extinctions. In most …

The modularity of pollination networks

JM Olesen, J Bascompte… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
In natural communities, species and their interactions are often organized as nonrandom
networks, showing distinct and repeated complex patterns. A prevalent, but poorly explored …

The nested assembly of plant–animal mutualistic networks

J Bascompte, P Jordano, CJ Melián… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Most studies of plant–animal mutualisms involve a small number of species. There is almost
no information on the structural organization of species-rich mutualistic networks despite its …

Pollination syndromes and floral specialization

CB Fenster, WS Armbruster, P Wilson… - Annu. Rev. Ecol …, 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollination
syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that …

Measuring specialization in species interaction networks

N Blüthgen, F Menzel, N Blüthgen - BMC ecology, 2006 - Springer
Background Network analyses of plant-animal interactions hold valuable biological
information. They are often used to quantify the degree of specialization between partners …
