Six General Ecosystem Properties are more Intense in Biogeochemical Cycling Networks than Food Webs
Stuart R. Borrett, Montgomery Carter, David E. Hines
Network analysis has revealed whole-network properties hypothesized to be general characteristics of ecosystems including pathway proliferation, and network non-locality, homogeniz…
Environ centrality reveals the tendency of indirect effects to homogenize the functional importance of species in ecosystems
Sarah L. Fann, Stuart R. Borrett
Ecologists and conservation biologists need to identify the relative importance of species to make sound management decisions and effectively allocate scarce resources. We introduc…
Evidence for Resource Homogenization in 50 Trophic Ecosystem Networks
Stuart R. Borrett, Andria K. Salas
Connectivity patterns of ecological elements are often the core concern of ecologists working at multiple levels of organization (e.g., populations, ecosystems, and landscapes) bec…
Evidence for the Dominance of Indirect Effects in 50 Trophically-Based Ecosystem Networks
Andria K. Salas, Stuart R. Borrett
Indirect effects are powerful influences in ecosystems that may maintain species diversity and alter apparent relationships between species in surprising ways. Here, we applied Net…
Functional Integration of Ecological Networks through Pathway Proliferation
Stuart R. Borrett, Brian D. Fath, Bernard C. Patten
Large-scale structural patterns commonly occur in network models of complex systems including a skewed node degree distribution and small-world topology. These patterns suggest com…
