The impact of strong activity disruption on building energetics

Yu-Hsuan Hsu, Sara Beery, Christopher P. Kempes +2

Evidence shows that biological organisms tend to be more energetically efficient per unit size. These scaling patterns observed in biological organisms have also been observed in t…

Nested species interactions promote feasibility over stability during the assembly of a pollinator community

Serguei Saavedra, Rudolf P. Rohr, Jens M. Olesen +1

The foundational concepts behind the persistence of ecological communities have been based on two ecological properties: dynamical stability and feasibility. The former is typicall…

Seasonal species interactions minimize the impact of species turnover on the likelihood of community persistence

Serguei Saavedra, Rudolf P. Rohr, Miguel A. Fortuna +2

Many of the observed species interactions embedded in ecological communities are not permanent, but are characterized by temporal changes that are observed along with abiotic and b…

Stock fluctuations are correlated and amplified across networks of interlocking directorates

Serguei Saavedra, Luis J. Gilarranz, Rudolf P. Rohr +3

Traded corporations are required by law to have a majority of outside directors on their board. This requirement allows the existence of directors who sit on the board of two or mo…

How structurally stable are global socioeconomic systems?

Serguei Saavedra, Rudolf P. Rohr, Luis J. Gilarranz +1

The stability analysis of socioeconomic systems has been centered on answering whether small perturbations when a system is in a given quantitative state will push the system perma…

Estimating the tolerance of species to the effects of global environmental change

Serguei Saavedra, Rudolf P. Rohr, Vasilis Dakos +1

Global environmental change is affecting species distribution and their interactions with other species. In particular, the main drivers of environmental change strongly affect the…

Foraging under conditions of short-term exploitative competition: The case of stock traders

Serguei Saavedra, R. Dean Malmgren, Nicholas Switanek +1

Theory purports that animal foraging choices evolve to maximize returns, such as net energy intake. Empirical research in both human and nonhuman animals reveals that individuals o…

Is coaching experience associated with effective use of timeouts in basketball?

Serguei Saavedra, Satyam Mukherjee, James P. Bagrow

Experience is an important asset in almost any professional activity. In basketball, there is believed to be a positive association between coaching experience and effective use of…

Tracking Traders' Understanding of the Market Using e-Communication Data

Serguei Saavedra, Jordi Duch, Brian Uzzi

Tracking the volume of keywords in Internet searches, message boards, or Tweets has provided an alternative for following or predicting associations between popular interest or dis…

Synchronicity, Instant Messaging and Performance among Financial Traders

Serguei Saavedra, Kathleen Hagerty, Brian Uzzi

Successful animal systems often manage risk through synchronous behavior that spontaneously arises without leadership. In critical human systems facing risk, such as financial mark…

Common Organizing Mechanisms in Ecological and Socio-economic Networks

Serguei Saavedra, Felix Reed-Tsochas, Brian Uzzi

Previous work has shown that species interacting in an ecosystem and actors transacting in an economic context may have notable similarities in behavior. However, the specific mech…

Mutually-Antagonistic Interactions in Baseball Networks

Serguei Saavedra, Scott Powers, Trent McCotter +2

We formulate the head-to-head matchups between Major League Baseball pitchers and batters from 1954 to 2008 as a bipartite network of mutually-antagonistic interactions. We conside…

Identifying the underlying structure and dynamic interactions in a voting network

Serguei Saavedra, Janet Efstathiou, Felix Reed-Tsochas

We analyse the structure and behaviour of a specific voting network using a dynamic structure-based methodology which draws on Q-Analysis and social network theory. Our empirical f…
