Frugivores at higher risk of extinction are the key elements of a mutualistic network (2014, background): “It is possible to describe the organization of networks of interacting species and the role of particular species in structuring these species-rich assemblages (Bascompte and Jordano 2007).”
Using species co-occurrence networks to assess the impacts of climate change (2011, background): “Analysis of complex networks of interactions have indeed shown that few nodes (e.g. species) may act as hubs of the networks, gluing them together, whereas the majority of the nodes display weak links with the other constituting nodes (e.g. see for reviews Proulx et al. 2005, Bascompte 2007).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “One major challenge in contemporary mutualistic network studies is to adequately capture and describe spatial and temporal dynamics (Bascompte and Jordano, 2007; Olesen et al., 2008; Tylianakis, 2008).”
Plant-hummingbird interaction networks in urban areas: Generalization and the importance of trees with specialized flowers as a nectar resource for pollinator conservation (2019, background): “…interacting at the community level as a network of interactions allows a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of these systems (Bascompte and Jordano, 2007; Knight et al., 2018; Vizentin-Bugoni et al., 2014), and could contribute to conservation e ﬀ orts (Kaiser-Bunbury and…”
Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics (2013, background): “Since then, we have found that networks involving positive interactions, for example mutualisms between seed dispersers and plants, pollinators and plants, or cleaner and client fishes, share common properties (Bascompte & Jordano 2007).”
A consumer's guide to nestedness analysis (2009, background): “In such nested interaction networks, specialists from both sets of species interact preferentially with generalists (Bascompte and Jordano 2007).”
How to monitor ecological communities cost-efficiently: The example of plant–pollinator networks (2010, background): “They not only provide data on the architecture of the community, which species are present and who interacts with whom, but also provide data on functional aspects of ecosystems (Bascompte and Jordano, 2007; Forup et al., 2008; Gibson et al., 2006).”
What makes a species central in a cleaning mutualism network (2010, background): “As it has been suggested that these central species may drive the ecology and the evolution of the whole community (Jordano et al. 2006, Bascompte and Jordano 2007, Guimarães et al. 2007a, Bascompte 2009), identifying core species and exploring ecological traits that influence structural position…”
The evolution of facilitation and mutualism (2009, background): “The degree of specificity within mutualistic networks is often strikingly asymmetric: one side of the interaction is considerably more specialized than the other, with the most special- ized members of the network dependent upon a nested core of generalists (Bascompte & Jordano 2007).”
Morphological trait matching shapes plant–frugivore networks across the Andes (2018, methodology): “We averaged the PCoA coordinates of these plant species weighting them by the respective interaction strength (Bascompte and Jordano 2007).”
