In the past 15 years, statistical physics has been successful as a framework for modelling
complex networks. On the theoretical side, this approach has unveiled a variety of physical …

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

Networks are a fundamental tool for understanding and modeling complex systems in
physics, biology, neuroscience, engineering, and social science. Many networks are known …

The global biodiversity crisis concerns not only unprecedented loss of species within
communities, but also related consequences for ecosystem function. Community ecology …

Knowledge of species composition and their interactions, in the form of interaction networks,
is required to understand processes sha** their distribution over time and space. As such …

Social network analysis provides a broad and complex perspective on animal sociality that
is widely applicable to almost any species. Recent applications demonstrate the utility of …

Random graph null models have found widespread application in diverse research
communities analyzing network datasets, including social, information, and economic …

Parasitism is the most common consumer strategy among organisms, yet only recently has
there been a call for the inclusion of infectious disease agents in food webs. The value of …

Pioneering investigations on the effects of introduced populations on community structure,
ecosystem functioning and services have focused on the effects of invaders on taxonomic …

Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …
