Nestedness across biological scales. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesPhysical 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 ...

The dynamics of nestedness predicts the evolution of industrial ecosystems. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Nestedness and segmented nestedness [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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]

open access: yesOikos, 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

On the Relatedness and Nestedness of Constraints [PDF]

open access: yesSports Medicine - Open, 2019
The purpose of this opinion paper is providing a platform for explaining and discussing the relatedness and nestedness of constraints on the basis of four claims: (a) task constraints are distributed between the person and the environment and hence are relational variables, (b) being relational, task constraints are also emergent properties of the ...
