• The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “The analysis of species-level interaction networks shows that they are typically modular (Sugihara et al. 1989; Meli an & Bascompte 2004), and this has important implications for scenarios of biotic extinctions (Dunne et al. 2002).”
• SIMPLE TROPHIC MODULES FOR COMPLEX FOOD WEBS (2005, methodology): “Following previous studies (e.g., Milo et al. 2002, Melián and Bascompte 2004), statistical significance is estimated by comparing the observed number of modules to a population of randomizations of the food web.”
• The Structure of Ecological Networks Across Levels of Organization (2020, background): “Even in the presence of modules of interacting species (Pimm & Lawton 1980), which are expected to increase network pathway lengths, the presence of highly connected species shortens pathways by connecting species from different modules (Melián & Bascompte 2004, Olesen et al. 2007).”
• The Structure of Plant-Animal Mutualistic Networks (2006, methodology): “On the contrary, food webs suggest a non-random structure in which generalist species tend to interact among themselves (Melián and Bascompte 2002), and where a collection of small subwebs is connected to a single, highly dense subweb which glues the web altogether (Melián and Bascompte 2004).”
• The Network Structure of Food Webs (2005, unknown): “Melián and Bascompte (2004) assessed the frequency distribution of subweb size in five speciose webs with S of 134 to 237 and found that all follow a power-law distribution, with zero or few links per species in most subwebs and a unique subweb with the most links per species.”
