Saproxylic insect communities inhabiting tree hollow microhabitats correspond with large
food webs which simultaneously are constituted by multiple types of plant-animal and …

The assessment of the relationship between species diversity, species interactions and
environmental characteristics is indispensable for understanding network architecture and …

Ecological communities are composed of many species and an intricate network of
interactions between them. Because of their overall complexity, an intriguing approach to …

Nestedness and modularity have been found in many species interaction networks. Despite
being conceptually distinct, negatively correlated and having different causes, these patterns …

Interaction networks are basic descriptions of ecological communities and are at the core of
community dynamics models. Knowledge of their structure should enable us to understand …

Nestedness and modularity are measures of ecological networks whose causative effects
are little understood. We analyzed antagonistic plant–herbivore bipartite networks using …

Recent research on ecological networks suggests that mutualistic networks are more nested
than antagonistic ones and, as a result, they are more robust against chains of extinctions …

Ecological interaction networks constantly reorganize as interspecific interactions change
across successional stages and environmental gradients. This reorganization can also be …

The calculation of nestedness has become a routine analysis in the study of ecological
networks, as it is commonly associated with community resilience, robustness and species …

The specialization of ecological networks provides important insights into possible
consequences of biodiversity loss for ecosystem functioning. However, mostly mutualistic …
