Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Aim Beta diversity can be partitioned into two components: dissimilarity due to species
replacement and dissimilarity due to nestedness (Baselga, 2010, Global Ecology and …

Our growing awareness of the microbial world's importance and diversity contrasts starkly
with our limited understanding of its fundamental structure. Despite recent advances in DNA …

Aim Recent studies increasingly use statistical methods to infer biotic interactions from co‐
occurrence information at a large spatial scale. However, disentangling biotic interactions …

Se presenta una revisión de las principales tendencias que el estudio de la diversidad beta
ha tenido a lo largo de más de 50 años, a partir de la propuesta del concepto y hasta las …

Aim Beta diversity (variation of the species composition of assemblages) may reflect two
different phenomena, spatial species turnover and nestedness of assemblages, which result …

Background Revealing the relationship between plants and fungi is very important in
understanding biodiversity maintenance, community stability, and ecosystem functioning …

Revealing the biogeographies and ecologies of rare and abundant microorganisms is
crucial to understand ecosystem diversity and function. In this study, we investigated the …

Understanding how communities of living organisms assemble has been a central question
in ecology since the early days of the discipline. Disentangling the different processes …

The observed architecture of ecological and socio-economic networks differssignificantly
from that of random networks. From a network science standpoint, non-random structural …
