Biodiversity is measured from various perspectives. One of them, functional diversity,
quantifies the heterogeneity in species traits and roles in an ecosystem. One important …

The interplay of anthropogenic effects presents significant challenges to modelling and
managing marine resources. The increasing awareness of the complexity of the interaction …

We suggest a novel approach to determining the centrality measures for directed signed
networks, based on the notion of social balance. We postulate that along with the existing …

The dynamics of savanna ecosystems depends on the interplay between multiple factors
such as grazing, browsing, fires, rainfall regime and interactions between grass and woody …

The position of a node in a social network, or node centrality, can be quantified in several
ways. Traditionally, it can be defined by considering the local connectivity of a node (degree) …

A robust food web is one which suffers few secondary extinctions after primary species
losses. While recent research has shown that a food web with parasitism is less robust than …

Functional diversity is the heterogeneity in the functional roles of organisms in an
ecosystem. Because the morphological traits of species dictate their functional roles …

In ecological systems, multiple interactions connect various kinds of components. Strong
and weak as well as positive and negative effects cause complex dynamics and often quite …

Food web research needs to be predictive in order to support decisions system-based
conservation. In order to increase predictability and applicability, complexity needs to be …
