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 ...

Measuring nestedness: A comparative study of the performance of different metrics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Nestedness is a property of interaction networks widely observed in natural mutualistic communities, among other systems. A perfectly nested network is characterized by the peculiarity that the interactions of any node form a subset of the interactions ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

F1000Research, 2014 Nestedness is a statistical measure used to interpret bipartite interaction data in several ecological and evolutionary contexts, e.g. biogeography (species-site relationships) and species interactions (plant-pollinator and host-parasite networks ...
