Complexity and stability of ecological networks: a review of the theory (2018, background): “Similarly, Stouffer and Bascompte (2011) demonstrate that compartmentalization increases the persistence of food webs.”
Defining invasiveness and invasibility in ecological networks (2016, methodology): “…et al. 2006; Burgos et al. 2007; Estrada 2007; Bastola et al. 2009; Kiers et al. 2010; Thébault and Fontaine 2010; Brose 2011; de Visser et al. 2011; Stouffer and Bascompte 2011; James et al. 2012), and explaining emergent network structures using dynamic network models with adaptive and random…”
Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “In turn, compartmentalization increases a system’s resistance to the spread of perturbation (Kolasa, 2005) and is closely tied to long-term community persistence (Stouffer & Bascompte, 2011).”
Structure–stability relationships in networks combining mutualistic and antagonistic interactions (2014, background): “On the other hand, modularity, that characterizes the organization of networks into sub-groups of species that interact more with each other than with other species (Newman and Girvan 2004), promotes food web stability (Stouffer and Bascompte 2011).”
Stock network stability in times of crisis (2014, background): “connections working in such a way that if a plant species depends strongly on an animal species, the animal depends weakly on the plant [16–18].”
The stability–complexity relationship at age 40: a random matrix perspective (2015, background): “, the species can be divided into subsets such that within-subset connections are much more frequent than between-subset connections—confusingly, these subsets are called ‘‘communities’’ in the complexnetwork literature) (Stouffer and Bascompte 2011), and groups of similar species (Allesina and Pasc”
Below‐ground connections underlying above‐ground food production: a framework for optimising ecological connections in the rhizosphere (2017, background): “Compartmentalisation, as well as the presence of weak connectors between compartments, has also been shown to increase the stability of networks (Moore et al. 2003; Rooney et al. 2006; Stouffer & Bascompte 2011).”
Describe, understand and predict: why do we need networks in ecology? (2016, background): “…2004; Ings et al. 2009), in particular when studying the structure of ecological communities (de Ruiter et al. 1995; Neutel et al. 2002; Bascompte et al. 2003; Krause et al. 2003) and the dynamic or functional consequences of this structure (Th ebault & Fontaine 2010; Stouffer & Bascompte 2011).”
