Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

The constituents of many complex systems are characterized by non-trivial connectivity
patterns and dynamical processes that are well captured by network models. However, most …

The number of network science applications across many different fields has been rapidly
increasing. Surprisingly, the development of theory and domain-specific applications often …

A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning, but it is unknown
how co-occurrence networks within these communities respond to disturbances such as …

Network analysis has been used for many years in ecological research to analyze
organismal associations, for example in food webs, plant-plant or plant-animal interactions …

Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

New technologies have enabled the investigation of biology and human health at an
unprecedented scale and in multiple dimensions. These dimensions include a myriad of …

Multilayer networks is a rising topic in Network Science which characterizes the structure
and the function of complex systems formed by several interacting networks. Multilayer …

Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at
faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record …
