The Network Structure of Food Webs (2005, unknown): “For this set of data, b = 1.5, but there is a large amount of scatter (R2 = 0.68) (see also Montoya and Solé 2003).”
Compartments in insect-plant associations and their consequences for community structure (2004, background): “…webs has emphasized other features of community structure, such as connectance and degree distributions (e.g. Solé & Montoya 2001; Dunne, Williams & Martinez 2002; Williams et al. 2002; Jordano et al. 2003; Montoya & Solé 2003) or nestedness (Bascompte et al. 2003), rather than compartmentation.”
Interaction strengths in food webs: issues and opportunities (2004, background): “2002; Montoya & Solé 2003).”
Network ecology: topological constraints on ecosystem dynamics (2004, background): “Of course, the degree can be averaged over all nodes in a network (Dav), its standard deviation can be calculated (Dstd), or its distribution can also be analyzed ((150; 106; 107; 38; 37), but these latter network properties are not real global indices: these network indices result from averaging th”
Scaling of Food-Web Properties with Diversity and Complexity Across Ecosystems (2010, methodology): “This finding is consistent with an earlier study (Montoya and Sole, 2003) that suggests that species-rich food webs have a more uneven distribution of links among species, a feature that may increase population stability.”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, unknown): “In our GA-fit, a two-step procedure was implemented.”
Describe, understand and predict: why do we need networks in ecology? (2016, background): “…description and quantification their complexity (Bascompte 2009) and could contribute to finally unlocking key questions such as community assembly (Montoya & Sole 2003; Barber an et al. 2012), coexistence (Allesina & Levine 2011; Ulrich et al. 2014) and the concept of trophic niches (Dehling et…”
Towards novel approaches to modelling biotic interactions in multispecies assemblages at large spatial extents (2012, background): “For instance, the connectance of empirical food webs (i.e. the number of realized links, L, divided by the total number of possible links, S2) decreases hyperbolically with the number of species S (Montoya & Solé, 2003).”
Food webs: reconciling the structure and function of biodiversity. (2012, background): “Because many food-web attributes systematically vary with the size and complexity of webs (Box 1, [18,19]) understanding these underlying patterns is critical in determining relationships between attributes and ecosystem functions.”
On nestedness in ecological networks (2010, background): “A possible explanation is that large networks are usually more heterogeneous in their link distributions than smaller ones – they have more specialized consumers and at the same time more generalized consumers (Montoya and Solé, 2003; Montoya et al., 2006).”
