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 ...

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 ...

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle-Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Absence of a resolution limit in in-block nestedness [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2021
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

β-diversity of deep-sea holothurians and asteroids along a bathymetric gradient (NE Atlantic) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.
