Nestedness across biological scales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Biological networks pervade nature. They describe systems throughout all levels of biological organization, from molecules regulating metabolism to species interactions that shape ecosystem dynamics. The network thinking revealed recurrent organizational

Nestedness for Dummies (NeD): A User-Friendly Web Interface for Exploratory Nestedness Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Software, 2014 Recent theoretical advances in nestedness analysis have led to the introduction of several alternative metrics to overcome most of the problems biasing the use of matrix 'temperature' calculated by Atmar's Nestedness Temperature Calculator.

Breaking the Spell of Nestedness: The Entropic Origin of Nestedness in Mutualistic Systems [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2019 Mutualistic interactions, those that are naturally beneficial for both interacting species, are recurrently found in ecosystems. Observations of natural systems show that if we draw mutualistic relationships as links between species, the resulting ...

Nestedness in mutualistic networks [PDF]
, 2013 James et al. (2012) presented simulations that apparently falsify the analytical result by Bastolla et al. (2009), who showed that nested mutualistic interactions decrease interspecific competition and increase biodiversity in model ecosystems.

Nestedness and segmented nestedness [PDF]
Proceedings of the 13th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining, 2007 Consider each row of a 0-1 dataset as the subset of the columns for which the row has an 1. Then a dataset is nested, if for all pairs of rows one row is either a superset or subset of the other. The concept of nestedness has its origins in ecology, where approximate versions of it has been used to model the species distribution in different locations.

On nestedness analyses: rethinking matrix temperature and anti-nestedness [PDF]
Oikos, 2007 The analysis of nested structures in sets of species assemblages across different sites or in networks of interspecific interactions has become common practice in ecological studies. Although new analyses and metrics have been proposed, few studies have scrutinized the concepts that subtend nestedness analysis. We note two important conceptual problems

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 ...

Does catchment nestedness enhance hydrological similarity?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 <p>This contribution analyses how the topological relationship between two river basins affects the correlation of the flows at their outlets. A pair of river basins can have two distinct topological configurations. They can either be nested (if the smaller catchment is part of a larger one), or they can be disjointed (or non-nested), if ...
