Mining time-dependent communities
Time evolution is one important feature of communities in network science. It is related with capturing critical events, characterizing community members, and predicting behaviours of communities in networks with time varying. However, most of existing community detection techniques are proposed for static networks. Here, we present a new framework to uncover community structure for each tempor...
متن کاملHow have fisheries affected parasite communities?
To understand how fisheries affect parasites, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies that contrasted parasite assemblages in fished and unfished areas. Parasite diversity was lower in hosts from fished areas. Larger hosts had a greater abundance of parasites, suggesting that fishing might reduce the abundance of parasites by selectively removing the largest, most heavily parasitized individual...
متن کاملMaritime mammals: terrestrial mammals as consumers in marine intertidal communities
The phenomenon of terrestrial mammals as predators in marine intertidal communities, and thus as agents of energy transfer from sea to land, is poorly understood. We review here the evidence for terrestrial mammals intentionally entering the ocean shore at low tide in order to prey on living marine invertebrates, fish, algae, and seagrasses. We introduce the term ‘maritime mammals’, defined as ...
متن کاملNeighborhoods are good communities
The communities of a social network are sets of vertices with more connections inside the set than outside. We theoretically demonstrate that two commonly observed properties of social networks, heavy-tailed degree distributions and large clustering coefficients, imply the existence of vertex neighborhoods (also known as egonets) that are themselves good communities. We evaluate these neighborh...
متن کاملContext‐dependent resistance of freshwater invertebrate communities to drying
More freshwater ecosystems are drying in response to global change thereby posing serious threat to freshwater biota and functions. The production of desiccation-resistant forms is an important adaptation that helps maintain biodiversity in temporary freshwaters by buffering communities from drying, but its potential to mitigate the negative effects of drying in freshwater ecosystems could vary...
