Beyond species: why ecological interaction networks vary through space and time (2014, methodology): “One approach is to use simple statistical models to quantify the e ﬀ ect of population sizes on local interaction occurrence or strength (see e.g. Krishna et al. 2008).”
Morphological and Spatio‐Temporal Mismatches Shape a Neotropical Savanna Plant‐Hummingbird Network (2014, background): “…can be as important, or even more important, than species traits in structuring ecological interaction networks, including plant-frugivore (Krishna et al. 2008), plant-pollinator (V azquez et al. 2009b), host plant-epiphyte (S ayago et al. 2013) and plant–ant interaction networks (D…”
Identifying Causes of Patterns in Ecological Networks: Opportunities and Limitations (2017, background): “Supporting the abundance-driven view, network patterns are often strongly driven by species numbers and abundance distributions (e.g., Vázquez et al. 2007, Krishna et al. 2008).”
Frugivores at higher risk of extinction are the key elements of a mutualistic network (2014, background): “However, other factors are important in determining the organization of interacting assemblages, such as species’ diets (Krishna et al. 2008) and phenological and morphological traits (Stang et al. 2006, González-Castro et al. 2012).”
Statistical mechanics of ecological systems: Neutral theory and beyond (2015, background): “However, a network approach to modelling ecological systems provides a powerful representation of the interactions among species [17, 88, 136].”
The Structure of Ecological Networks Across Levels of Organization (2020, background): “Because these three fundamental components of nestedness are fostered by differences in species abundances, nestedness is partially a consequence of species abundance distributions (Krishna et al. 2008).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “Abundance alone may explain 60–70% of nestedness in empirical networks (Krishna et al., 2008), although perturbations push communities”
