Directed network Laplacians and random graph models

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
We consider spectral methods that uncover hidden structures in directed networks. We establish and exploit connections between node reordering via (a) minimizing an objective function and (b) maximizing the likelihood of a random graph model. We focus on

Biodiversity and community structure [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
In natural plant communities, one finds ample examples of both competitive and facilitative interactions. The effect of a species A on another species B is said to be competitive (facilitative) if an increase in A ’s population size reduces (enhances) the population growth rate of B .

Effects of Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) on the Species Structure of Ant Communities in South China

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
We evaluated the effects of invasive red imported fire ants (RIFAs), Solenopsis invicta Buren, on native ant communities at three habitats in South China.

Coupling Between the Responses of Plants, Soil, and Microorganisms Following Grazing Exclusion in an Overgrazed Grassland

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Grazing exclusion is an effective management practice to restore grassland ecosystem functioning. However, little is known about the role of soil microbial communities in regulating grassland ecosystem functioning during long-term ecosystem restorations.

Hierarchical community structure in complex (social) networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The investigation of community structure in networks is a task of great importance in many disciplines, namely physics, sociology, biology and computer science where systems are often represented as graphs.

Estimating carnivore community structures [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractObtaining reliable estimates of the structure of carnivore communities is of paramount importance because of their ecological roles, ecosystem services and impact on biodiversity conservation, but they are still scarce. This information is key for carnivore management: to build support for and acceptance of management decisions and policies it ...

Agricultural management and plant selection interactively affect rhizosphere microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2019
Rhizosphere microbial communities are key regulators of plant performance, yet few studies have assessed the impact of different management approaches on the rhizosphere microbiomes of major crops.

Coral bacterial community structure responds to environmental change in a host-specific manner

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The global decline of coral reefs heightens the need to understand how corals respond to changing environmental conditions. Corals are metaorganisms, so-called holobionts, and restructuring of the associated bacterial community has been suggested as a ...

Immunization of networks with non-overlapping community structure [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Network Analysis and Mining, 2018
Although community structure is ubiquitous in complex networks, few works exploit this topological property to control epidemics. In this work, devoted to networks with non-overlapping community structure (i.e., a node belongs to a single community), we ...
