Betweenness Centrality in Some Classes of Graphs (2014, background): “Betweenness centrality plays an important role in analysis of social networks [21, 22], computer networks [16] and many other types of network data models [7, 11, 15, 17, 19, 23].”
Biogeographical modules and island roles: a comparison of Wallacea and the West Indies (2012, background): “In general, a network comprises nodes connected by links, and the concept may characterize many types of systems, for example social networks (Freeman, 1979), metabolic networks (Guimerà & Amaral, 2005a), plant–pollinator networks (Olesen et al., 2007; Martı́n González et al., 2010), foodwebs (Dun”
The multilayer nature of ecological networks (2015, background): “k ecology, many theoretical aspects were borrowed or adapted from the more general science of networks. For example, network diagnostics such as `centrality' measures of node and edge importance [59] and nestedness [60], algorithms for community detection [61,62] and associated null models for ”
The Structure of Ecological Networks Across Levels of Organization (2020, background): “If there are even just a few generalist species, a connected network emerges (Martín-González et al. 2010), with multiple pathways connecting species.”
