The dynamics of nestedness predicts the evolution of industrial ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In economic systems, the mix of products that countries make or export has been shown to be a strong leading indicator of economic growth. Hence, methods to characterize and predict the structure of the network connecting countries to the products that ...

Factors determining nestedness in complex networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the causes and effects of network structural features is a key task in deciphering complex systems. In this context, the property of network nestedness has aroused a fair amount of interest as regards ecological networks.

Small Hydropower Plants With Ecological Flow Influence Nestedness of Riverine Algae: Insights From treeNODF Analysis in Oujiang River Basin [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding the nested distribution patterns is ecologically crucial for revealing river ecosystem heterogeneity and biodiversity maintenance. However, there is a notable research gap in understanding the nested patterns of river algae under the ...

Food Web Topology and Nested Keystone Species Complexes [PDF]
Complexity, 2018 Important species may be in critically central network positions in ecological interaction networks. Beyond quantifying which one is the most central species in a food web, a multinode approach can identify the key sets of the most central n species as ...

Taxonomic and functional nestedness of bird communities in urban parks of Liuzhou, China [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalUrbanisation significantly impacts the composition and distribution of species through habitat loss and fragmentation. Nestedness is a significant pattern often observed in species assemblages on islands or within fragmented systems.

Nestedness of snake assemblages on islands of an inundated lake
Environmental Epigenetics, 2012 Nestedness is a pattern frequently reported for faunal assemblages in fragmented systems. Although nestedness has been documented for a wide range of taxa, it is rarely tested in snake assemblages. To arrive at robust generalizations about processes and

Food-web structure in relation to environmental gradients and predator-prey ratios in tank-bromeliad ecosystems [PDF]
, 2013 Little is known of how linkage patterns between species change along environmental gradients. The small, spatially discrete food webs inhabiting tank-bromeliads provide an excellent opportunity to analyse patterns of community diversity and food-web ...

Ecological Indicators, 2023 In the perspective for partitioning beta diversity proposed by Baselga (2010), species loss was assumed to increase the nestedness component. As species loss is generally non-random under human disturbance, we hypothesised that non-random species loss ...

Detecting and generating overlapping nested communities
Applied Network Science, 2023 Nestedness has been observed in a variety of networks but has been primarily viewed in the context of bipartite networks. Numerous metrics quantify nestedness and some clustering methods identify fully nested parts of graphs, but all with similar ...
