Beta Diversity of Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Benthic Communities Reveals a Major Role of Stochastic Assembly Processes

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Community assembly is the result of both, deterministic and stochastic processes. The former encompasses niche-based local-scale mechanisms such as environmental filtering and biotic interactions; the latter includes ecological drift, probabilistic ...

Null models for understand intertidal decapods communities in North Patagonian beach (Pelluhuin, 41°S, Chile) [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The intertidal decapods in continental Chile are characterized by its species sharing with Peruvian coast along practically all coast, being coexisting species that has not studied with details its interspecific interactions. The aim of the present study

Are there co-occurrence patterns that structure snake communities in Central Brazil? Existem padrões de coocorrência que estruturam comunidades de serpentes no Brasil Central?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2007
The main factors that structure Neotropical animal communities have been the subject of discussion in ecology communities. We used a set of null models to investigate the existence of structure in snake communities from the Cerrado in Central Brazil in ...

Null models for network data

open access: yesCoRR, 2012
The analysis of datasets taking the form of simple, undirected graphs continues to gain in importance across a variety of disciplines. Two choices of null model, the logistic-linear model and the implicit log-linear model, have come into common use for analyzing such network data, in part because each accounts for the heterogeneity of network node ...

Inferring monopartite projections of bipartite networks: an entropy-based approach

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
Bipartite networks are currently regarded as providing a major insight into the organization of many real-world systems, unveiling the mechanisms driving the interactions occurring between distinct groups of nodes.

A null model for Pearson coexpression networks

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2013
Abstract Gene coexpression networks inferred by correlation from high-throughput profiling such as microarray data represent a simple but effective technique for discovering and interpreting linear gene relationships. In the last years several approach have been proposed to tackle the problem of deciding when the resulting correlation ...

Phylogenetic clustering of fungal communities in human‐disturbed streams

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Phylogenetic community structure is increasingly used to examine community assembly, but the influence of anthropogenic disturbance on phylogenetic community structure remains little explored.

Fluctuating ecological networks: A synthesis of maximum‐entropy approaches for pattern detection and process inference

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological networks such as plant–pollinator systems and food webs vary in space and time. This variability includes fluctuations in global properties such as the total number and intensity of interactions in the network but also in the number and ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Corrigendum: Lightning network: a second path towards centralisation of the bitcoin economy (2020 New J. Phys. 22 083022)

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
The bitcoin lightning network (BLN), a so-called ‘second layer’ payment protocol, was launched in 2018 to scale up the number of transactions between bitcoin owners.
