Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, methodology): “…about the number of direct connections among nodes, the keystone index also provides information on how these neighbours are connected to one another ecologically (Jordán et al., 2006), emphasizing vertical interactions over horizontal interactions (e.g. trophic cascades vs. apparent competition).”
Topological analysis of the ecological importance of elasmobranch fishes: A food web study on the Gulf of Tortugas, Colombia (2010, background): “, 1997), which recognize the need to understand the interactions of not only one species, but of most or all species to model more accurate responses to the dynamics of each system under study (Jordán et al., 2006).”
The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in a national park: from pest to keystone species (2008, background): “A high keystone index (Jordán et al. 2006) can also be attributed to I. typographus not only because of the high number of species directly interacting with it (Weslien 1992), but also as shown by our study because of the numerous other forest insects which benefit from bark beetle gaps.”
SINCERA: A Pipeline for Single-Cell RNA-Seq Profiling Analysis (2015, methodology): “This concept has been applied to the analysis of node importance in terrorist and social networks [61,64], criminal networks [65], and food webs [66].”
Centrality measures and the importance of generalist species in pollination networks (2010, background): “…as shown in several ecological and non-ecological studies (Dunne et al., 2002; Goh et al., 2002; Guimerà and Amaral, 2004; Hahn and Kerns, 2004; Memmott et al., 2004; Jordán et al., 2006; Lee, 2006; Estrada, 2007); and (ii) nestedness, a dominant pattern widely observed in pollination networks.”
Social network analysis of animal behaviour : a promising tool for the study of sociality (2008, background): “These measures provide different ways to define importance, and different measures may produce different rankings (Jordán et al. 2006).”
Weighting, scale dependence and indirect effects in ecological networks: A comparative study (2007, methodology): “We were interested in the centrality rank of nodes in each network for each index, for both the weighted and the unweighted case (Jordán et al., 2006a, 2007; Estrada, 2007).”
