Structure of trophic and mutualistic networks across broad environmental gradients
This study aims to understand how inherent ecological network structures of nestedness and modularity vary over large geographic scales with implications for community stability. Bipartite networks from previous research from 68 locations globally were analyzed. Using a meta-analysis approach, we examine relationships between the structure of 22 trophic and 46 mutualistic bipartite networks in ...
متن کاملStructure of Mutualistic Complex Networks
We consider the structures of six plant-pollinator mutualistic networks. The plants and pollinators are linked by the plant-pollinating relation. We assigned the visiting frequency of pollinators to a plant as a weight of each link. We calculated the cumulative distribution functions of the degree and strength for the networks. We observed a power-law, linear, and stretched exponential dependen...

متن کاملAn empirical analysis of zooplankton community size structure across lake trophic gradients’
The hypothesis was tested that zooplankton community size structure shifts toward an increased relative biomass of microzooplankton with increased lake trophy at 12 sites in Quebec, The seasonal mean abundance and biomass of ciliates, rotifers, nauplii, cladocerans, and cyclopoid copepods were significantly (P < 0.1) related to lake trophy, but Calanoid copepod abundance and biomass varied inde...
متن کاملThe Structure of Plant-Animal Mutualistic Networks
Plant-animal mutualistic networks can be described as bipartite graphs depicting the interactions between two distinct sets: plants and animals. These mutualistic networks have been found to be highly structured. Specifically, they show a nested pattern in which specialists interact with proper subsets of the species generalists interact with. This pattern is important for understanding coevolu...
