Social Network Analysis of a Grassland Rodent Community Using a Lotka-Volterra Modeling Approach [PDF]
Although social network analysis is a promising tool to study the structure and dynamics of wildlife communities, the current methods require costly and detailed network data, which often are not available over long time periods (e.g. decades). The present work aims to resolve this issue by developing a new methodology that requires much less detailed ...
