• How to be a specialist? Quantifying specialisation in pollination networks (2011, unknown): “None of the above indices is able to capture such behaviour, nor are any of the many other indices proposed for ecological network analysis (e.g. Bersier et al., 2002, Dormann et al., 2009).”
• Measuring specialization in species interaction networks (2006, methodology): “Conclusion In accordance with previous calls [4,20,27,30,31,38], we suggest that the explicit inclusion of frequency data reflects an important step forward in network analyses, as too many assumptions are implicit in any measure based on binary representation.”
• How to monitor ecological communities cost-efficiently: The example of plant–pollinator networks (2010, background): “Quantitative link density is a quantitative equivalent of connectance that incorporates the distribution of interaction strengths within the network (Bersier et al., 2002).”
• Conservation of species interaction networks (2010, background): “These binary measures also have quantitative, abundance-weighted counterparts based on information theory that incorporate the frequency and the presence of interactions (Bersier et al., 2002).”
• Ecological networks, nestedness and sampling effort (2007, background): “© 2007 The Authors Journal compilation © 2007 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology 95 , 1134‐1141 to be prone to the effects of sampling effort (Paine 1988; Cohen et al . 1993; Goldwasser & Roughgarden 1997; Martinez et al . 1999; Winemiller et al . 2001; Bersier et al . 2002; Banasek-Ri”
