Temporal origin of nestedness in interaction networks [PDF]
PNAS Nexus, 2023 Nestedness is a common property of communication, finance, trade, and ecological networks. In networks with high levels of nestedness, the link positions of low-degree nodes (those with few links) form nested subsets of the link positions of high-degree ...

On the methods to assess significance in nestedness analyses
Theory in Biosciences, 2014 Use of Z values to evaluate nestedness significance is a common procedure. An appealing alternative to the use of Z values is that of using a value of relative nestedness (RN).

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

On nestedness in ecological networks
, 2010 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]
, 2010 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)

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 ...

Determinants of Bird Richness in the Louzishan National Nature Reserve: Effects of Productivity and Habitat Heterogeneity Across Taxonomic and Functional Dimensions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe want to reveal the relationship between the alpha and beta diversity of birds and its two components with vegetation productivity and habitat heterogeneity from both taxonomic and functional perspectives. Our findings reveal productivity, as an important environmental variable, influences bird species richness and compositional differences from two ...

Turnover-Dominated β-Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAn important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter
