Small Hydropower Plants With Ecological Flow Influence Nestedness of Riverine Algae: Insights From treeNODF Analysis in Oujiang River Basin [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Understanding 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 ...

Multidimensional nestedness patterns and underlying processes of bird assemblages in the Zhoushan Archipelago, China

open access: yesAvian Research
Nestedness is one of the important patterns in island biogeography, community ecology and conservation biology. However, most previous nestedness studies focus on the taxonomic dimension while neglecting the functional and phylogenetic processes in ...

Nestedness of snake assemblages on islands of an inundated lake

open access: yesEnvironmental 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

Non-random species loss under human disturbance increases the nestedness component of macroinvertebrate beta diversity in tropical streams

open access: yesEcological 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 ...

Nestedness theory suggests wetland fragments with large areas and macrophyte diversity benefit waterbirds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Many artificial wetland constructions are currently underway worldwide to compensate for the degradation of natural wetland systems. Researchers face the responsibility of proposing wetland management and species protection strategies to ensure that ...

Factors determining nestedness in complex networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Taxonomic and functional nestedness of bird communities in urban parks of Liuzhou, China [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
Urbanisation 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

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

FALCON: a software package for analysis of nestedness in bipartite networks [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3z8]

open access: yesF1000Research, 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 ...

Seasonal patterns of taxonomic and functional beta diversity in submerged macrophytes at a fine scale

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Spatiotemporal variation in community composition is of considerable interest in ecology. However, few studies have focused on seasonal variation patterns in taxonomic and functional community composition at the fine scale. As such, we conducted seasonal
