Towards ecosystem-based management: identifying operational food-web indicators for marine ecosystems (2017, background): “Among representations of food webs in the literature are simple directed graphs (topological webs; e.g. Jordan et al., 2008), flow diagrams (energy budgets; e.g. Polovina, 1984; Ulanowicz, 2004), representations aggregated by size or trophic level, and complex dynamic models (Walters et al., 1997;…”
Keystone species: toward an operational concept for marine biodiversity conservation (2015, methodology): “Such methods were first applied to binary networks only (e.g., Jordán et al. 2003), and then adapted to weighted networks (e.g., Scotti et al. 2007, Jordán et al. 2008), since weighted structural indices were demonstrated to best correlate with functional indices from EwE-based methods (Jordán…”
Topological analysis of the ecological importance of elasmobranch fishes: A food web study on the Gulf of Tortugas, Colombia (2010, methodology): “In our study, however, we were limited to using binary data to construct an unweighted network, but future work should strive to use quantitative data to build a weighted network that would allow for a better correlation with the functional attributes of the species in the trophic networks (Jordán e”
Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, background): “This allows us to evaluate the direct and indirect effects between components at different levels (Jordán, 2001; Jordán et al., 2008; Navia et al., 2010).”
Indirect effects of invasive species removal devastate World Heritage Island (2009, background): “Theory emphasizes the significance of indirect effects in governing ecosystem dynamics, and the sensitivity of these dynamics to species interactions, the initial conditions of the system, and the ways in which ongoing changes interact to affect the state of the system (Chase 2007; Jordán et al .”
