Ecological Multilayer Networks: A New Frontier for Network Ecology
Shai Pilosof ; Mason A. Porter ; Sonia Kéfi ;
Date 13 Nov 2015
AbstractNetworks provide a powerful approach to address myriad phenomena across ecology. Ecological systems are inherently ’multilayered’. For instance, species interact with one another in different ways and those interactions vary spatiotemporally. However, ecological networks are typically studied as ordinary (i.e., monolayer) networks. ’Multilayer networks’ are currently at the forefront of network science, but ecological multilayer network studies have been sporadic and have not taken advantage of rapidly developing theory. Here we present the latest concepts and tools of multilayer network theory and discuss their application to ecology. This novel framework for the study of ecological multilayer networks encourages ecologists to move beyond monolayer network studies and facilitates ways for doing so. It thereby paves the way for novel, exciting research directions in network ecology.
