Directed network Laplacians and random graph models
Royal 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]
Proceedings 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 .

Impact of community structure on information transfer [PDF]
, 2008 The observation that real complex networks have internal structure has important implication for dynamic processes occurring on such topologies. Here we investigate the impact of community structure on a model of information transfer able to deal with ...

Ordered community structure in networks
, 2012 Community structure in networks is often a consequence of homophily, or assortative mixing, based on some attribute of the vertices. For example, researchers may be grouped into communities corresponding to their research topic.

Estimating carnivore community structures [PDF]
Scientific 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 ...

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

Finding local community structure in networks
, 2005 Although the inference of global community structure in networks has recently become a topic of great interest in the physics community, all such algorithms require that the graph be completely known.
