• Complexity and stability of ecological networks: a review of the theory (2018, unknown): “(2002, 2007), Emmerson and Raffaelli (2004), Emmerson and Yearsley (2004), Allesina and Pascual (2008), Gross et al.”
• The stability–complexity relationship at age 40: a random matrix perspective (2015, unknown): “, the species can be divided into subsets such that within-subset connections are much more frequent than between-subset connections—confusingly, these subsets are called ‘‘communities’’ in the complexnetwork literature) (Stouffer and Bascompte 2011), and groups of similar species (Allesina and Pasc”
• Coupled energy pathways and the resilience of size-structured food webs (2011, unknown): “However, the underlying structure of the food web and presence of smaller stabilising modules may contribute the most by providing a ‘stability backbone’ with other factors ‘fine-tuning’ how quickly food webs recover from perturbations (Allesina and Pascual 2008).”
• Structure–stability relationships in networks combining mutualistic and antagonistic interactions (2014, unknown): “Very few studies have considered community dynamics with both mutualistic and antagonistic interactions (but see, Ringel et al. 1996, Jang 2002, Allesina and Pascual 2008, Melián et al. 2009, Mougi and Kondoh 2012).”
• Coextinction and persistence of dependent species in a changing world (2012, unknown): “By contrast, Allesina & Pascual (2008) argued on the basis of dynamic models that the stability of complex communities depends strongly on simple consumer-victim (including parasite-host) subsystems.”
