Optimizing Household Waste Recycling Centre Network Reorganization in Hampshire
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Local councils across the UK are facing sustained financial pressures, and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are being increasingly considered for closure to reduce expenditure. In 2024, Hampshire County Council, which operates the largest HWRC network in the UK, proposed closing either five or twelve existing sites.

Can the biotic nestedness matrix be used predictively?
, 2004 The biotas of a suite of neighboring patches of remnant vegetation often form a series of nested sub-sets, in which the species present in species-poor patches are non-random sub-sets of those present in richer patches.

Parasitology, 2023 Few studies have investigated the ecological interactions between wild species of Suidae and their parasites, leaving our knowledge concerning this host–parasite system fragmented.

Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Beta diversity, and its components of turnover and nestedness, reflects the processes governing community assembly, such as dispersal limitation or biotic interactions, but it is unclear how they operate at the local scale and how their role changes ...

Nestedness-Based Measurement of Evolutionarily Stable Equilibrium of Global Production System
Entropy, 2021 A nested structure is a structural feature that is conducive to system stability formed by the coevolution of biological species in mutualistic ecosystems The coopetition relationship and value flow between industrial sectors in the global value chain ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Measures of nestedness in networks.
, 2013 The figure shows three different connectivity matrices with different levels of nestedness as measured by (i) our new nestedness index [Eq. (6)] and (ii) the standard nestedness “temperature’ calculator”.

Oikos, EarlyView.The traditional view of river basins as linear corridors has led to numerous studies examining the effects of stream size on aquatic communities. However, similar‐sized streams may harbor distinct faunal assemblages depending on their spatial context within the basin. Headwater tributaries (HTs) that flow into small streams, in the periphery of basins,
