A roadmap towards predicting species interaction networks (across space and time)
Networks of species interactions underpin numerous ecosystem processes, but
comprehensively sampling these interactions is difficult. Interactions intrinsically vary across …

Tackling the subsampling problem to infer collective properties from limited data
Despite the development of large-scale data-acquisition techniques, experimental
observations of complex systems are often limited to a tiny fraction of the system under …

Novel analytic methods for predicting extinctions in ecological networks
Ecological networks describe the interactions between different species, informing us how
they rely on one another for food, pollination, and survival. If a species in an ecosystem is …

Sampling and asymptotic network properties of spatial multi‐trophic networks
Collecting well‐resolved empirical trophic networks requires significant time, money and
expertise, yet we are still lacking knowledge on how sampling effort and bias impact the …

Future-proofing environmental DNA and trait-based predictions of food webs
Food webs represent trophic interactions within ecosystems. Matching traits of consumers
and resources helps infer trophic interactions and food-web properties. Environmental (e) …

Collective computation, information flow, and the emergence of hunter-gatherer small-worlds
MJ Hamilton - Journal of Social Computing, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Two key features of human sociality are anatomically complex brains with neuron-dense
cerebral cortices, and the propensity to form complex social networks with non-kin. Complex …
