Bioenergetic trophic trade-offs determine mass-dependent extinction thresholds across the Cenozoic

Justin D. Yeakel, Matthew C. Hutchinson, Christopher P. Kempes +3

Body size drives the energetic demands of organisms, constraining trophic interactions between species and playing a significant role in shaping the feasibility of species' populat…

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…

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…

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…
