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

The assembly and disassembly of ecological networks
J Bascompte, DB Stouffer - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Global change has created a severe biodiversity crisis. Species are driven extinct at an
increasing rate, and this has the potential to cause further coextinction cascades. The rate …

Evidence for the existence of a robust pattern of prey selection in food webs
Food webs aim to provide a thorough representation of the trophic interactions found in an
ecosystem. The complexity of empirical food webs, however, is leading many ecologists to …

Origin of compartmentalization in food webs
The response of an ecosystem to perturbations is mediated by both antagonistic and
facilitative interactions between species. It is thought that a community's resilience depends …

Motifs in bipartite ecological networks: uncovering indirect interactions
Indirect interactions play an essential role in governing population, community and
coevolutionary dynamics across a diverse range of ecological communities. Such …

Understanding food‐web persistence from local to global scales
DB Stouffer, J Bascompte - Ecology letters, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Ecology letters (2010) 13: 154–161 Abstract Understanding food‐web persistence is an
important long‐term objective of ecology because of its relevance in maintaining …

A new similarity measure for link prediction based on local structures in social networks
Link prediction is a fundamental problem in social network analysis. There exist a variety of
techniques for link prediction which applies the similarity measures to estimate proximity of …

On the sensitivity of food webs to multiple stressors
Evaluating the effects of multiple stressors on ecosystems is becoming increasingly vital with
global changes. The role of species interactions in propagating the effects of stressors …

Selection on stability across ecological scales
Much of the focus in evolutionary biology has been on the adaptive differentiation among
organisms. It is equally important to understand the processes that result in similarities of …

Ecological resilience of Arctic marine food webs to climate change
How real-world marine food webs absorb change, recover and adapt (that is, ecological
resilience) to climate change remains problematic. Here we apply a novel approach to show …
