Molecular ecological network analyses (2012, background): “interactions of animals and plants [1,4,31,55,70,71], but it is difficult to detect network interactions of a microbial community [72–74].”
Quantifying positional importance in food webs: A comparison of centrality indices (2007, background): “We believe that this kind of approach should be developed further (Jordán and Scheuring, 2004; Dunne, 2006; Jordán et al., 2006b).”
Inferring food web structure from predator–prey body size relationships (2013, background): “These simple rules are sufficient to generate realistic food web structures that fit most of published food webs (Dunne 2006).”
Flower-Visiting Social Wasps and Plants Interaction: Network Pattern and Environmental Complexity (2012, methodology): “We calculated the average degree for plants using the arithmetic means of degrees (= number of interactions in which each species was involved) of all plant species (sensu [45]); the same was carried out for wasps.”
Weighting, scale dependence and indirect effects in ecological networks: A comparative study (2007, background): “First, topological importance is quantified by degree centrality which measures the number of neighbours (i.e. interacting species, see Jordán et al., 1999, 2006b; Dunne et al., 2002; Dunne, 2006).”
Beyond species: why ecological interaction networks vary through space and time (2014, background): “Likely for this reason more than any, the structure of communities have been described by species interaction networks for over a century (Dunne 2006).”
Structural Degradation in Mediterranean Sea Food Webs: Testing Ecological Hypotheses Using Stochastic and Mass-Balance Modelling (2008, background): “However, trophic species and standardized food webs have been shown to overcome many of the effects of different resolu- tion in past food-web studies (Martinez 1999; Fulton and others 2003; Dunne 2005).”
Freshwater food webs: towards a more fundamental understanding of biodiversity and community dynamics (2012, methodology): “Advances in the resolution and types of data available rendered the conclusions of many earlier studies obsolete (Dunne, 2006).”
Bringing Elton and Grinnell Together: a quantitative framework to represent the biogeography of ecological interaction networks (2016, unknown): “& Dunne, J.A. (2015) E↵ects of 920 spatial scale of sampling on food web structure.”
Analysing ecological networks of species interactions (2018, background): “Unipartite networks are the more general case, in which any two vertices can be connected; for example, food webs or social networks are unipartite (Post, 2002; Dunne, 2006).”
Seeing Double:: Size-Based and Taxonomic Views of Food Web Structure (2011, background): “This is in part due to the development of ‘‘network science’’ as a discipline whose ideas have found a natural home in the complex world of ecology, but also largely due to the new availability of well-resolved and far more exhaustively sampled datasets (Dunne, 2006).”
Complexity (2003, background): “Journal of Atmospheric Science, 357, 1963, pp. 130–141. 24. “This is a linear system”: One could argue that this is not actually a linear system, since the population increases exponentially over time: nt = 2n0. However, it is the map from nt to nt+1 that is the linear system being discussed here. 2”
Scaling of Food-Web Properties with Diversity and Complexity Across Ecosystems (2010, methodology): “Overall, in contrast to classic models, our results support the recent paradigm shift from the previously held perception that connectance is constant to one that it is scale dependent (Brose et al., 2004; Dunne, 2006; Montoya and Sole, 2003; Schmid-Araya et al., 2002).”
Food webs: reconciling the structure and function of biodiversity. (2012, background): “There is now a clear understanding of the limitations of older data and the need for methodological rigour in describing food webs [14,15].”
Food‐web assembly during a classic biogeographic study: species’“trophic breadth” corresponds to colonization order (2008, background): “Food-web theory uses a conceptual map of who eats whom among species to describe diversity patterns within local assemblages (Schoener 1989, May 1973, Dunne 2006 ).”
Synchronization in complex networks (2008, background): “Nowadays we know, however, about the inherent complexity of food-webs [189].”
