Diverse interactions and ecosystem engineering stabilize community assembly

Justin D. Yeakel, Mathias M. Pires, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar +4

The complexity of an ecological community can be distilled into a network, where diverse interactions connect species in a web of dependencies. Species interact not only with each…

Coevolutionary patterns caused by prey selection

Sabrina B. L. Araujo, Marcelo Eduardo Borges, Francisco W. von Hartenthal +4

Many theoretical models have been formulated to better understand the coevolutionary patterns that emerge from antagonistic interactions. These models usually assume that the attac…

Revealing biases in the sampling of ecological interaction networks

Marcus A. M. de Aguiar, Erica A. Newman, Mathias M. Pires +8

The structure of ecological interactions is commonly understood through analyses of interaction networks. However, these analyses may be sensitive to sampling biases in both the in…

Collapse of an ecological network in Ancient Egypt

Justin D. Yeakel, Mathias M. Pires, Lars Rudolf +4

The dynamics of ecosystem collapse are fundamental to determining how and why biological communities change through time, as well as the potential effects of extinctions on ecosyst…

MODULAR: Software for the Autonomous Computation of Modularity in Large Network Sets

Flavia Maria Darcie Marquitti, Paulo Roberto Guimaraes, Mathias Mistretta Pires +1

Ecological systems can be seen as networks of interactions between individual, species, or habitat patches. A key feature of many ecological networks is their organization into mod…

The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene mammoth steppe food webs

Justin D. Yeakel, Paulo R. Guimaraes, Herve Bocherens +1

Species interactions shape predator-prey networks, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that occur o…
