Ecological Multilayer Networks: A New Frontier for Network Ecology | Shai Pilosof

13 Nov 2015 | Abstract: | Networks 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. | Source: | arXiv, 1511.4453 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
