On nestedness in ecological networks
Questions: Are interaction patterns in species interaction networks different from what one expects by chance alone? In particular, are these networks nested - a pattern where resources taken by more specialized consumers form a proper subset of those ...

Weighted-Interaction Nestedness Estimator [PDF]
Documentation of the R function "wine" included in the package bipartite. This function calculates the nestedness of a network taking into account the weight of the interactions, according to the method proposed by Galeano et al. (2008)

On the Relatedness and Nestedness of Constraints [PDF]
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 ...

Nestedness and Modularity in Bipartite Networks [PDF]
Bipartite networks are a useful way of representing interactions between two sets of entities. Understanding the underlying structures of such networks may give insights into the functionality and behaviour of the systems they represent.

Absence of a resolution limit in in-block nestedness [PDF]
Nestedness refers to a hierarchical organization of complex networks where a given node’s neighbors tend to form a subset of the neighborhoods of higher-degree nodes. Although nestedness has been traditionally interpreted as a macroscopic property that involves all the nodes of the network, recent works have reinterpreted it as a mesoscopic network ...

β-diversity of deep-sea holothurians and asteroids along a bathymetric gradient (NE Atlantic) [PDF]
Measuring and understanding patterns of ?-diversity remain major challenges in community ecology. Recently, ?-diversity has been shown to consist of 2 distinct components: (1) spatial turnover and (2) species loss leading to nestedness.

The Isomorphic Version of Brualdi’s and Sanderson’s Nestedness [PDF]
The discrepancy BR for an m × n 0, 1-matrix from Brualdi and Sanderson in 1998 is defined as the minimum number of 1 s that need to be shifted in each row to the left to achieve its Ferrers matrix, i.e., each row consists of consecutive 1 s followed by consecutive 0 s. For ecological bipartite networks, BR describes a nested set of relationships. Since

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
