Significant Scales in Community Structure
Many complex networks show signs of modular structure, uncovered by community detection. Although many methods succeed in revealing various partitions, it remains difficult to detect at what scale some partition is significant. This problem shows foremost in multi-resolution methods. We here introduce an efficient method for scanning for resolutions in one such method. Additionally, we introduc...
متن کاملCommunity structure in pelagic marine mammals at large spatial scales
The understanding of a species’ niche is fundamental to the concept of ecology, yet relatively little work has been done on niches in pelagic marine mammal communities. Data collection on the distribution and abundance of marine mammals is costly, time consuming and complicated by logistical difficulties. Here we take advantage of a data archive comprising many different datasets on the distrib...
متن کاملRelating phytoplankton photophysiological properties to community structure on large scales
We analyzed a large dataset of simultaneous measurements of phytoplankton pigments, spectral specific absorption coefficient for phytoplankton [a*(l)], and photosynthesis versus irradiance (P versus E) curve parameters to examine the possible relationships between phytoplankton community structure and photophysiological properties at large spatial scales. Data were collected in various regions,...
متن کاملCommunity structure of corals and reef fishes at multiple scales.
Distributions of numerical abundance and resource use among species are fundamental aspects of community structure. Here we characterize these patterns for tropical reef fishes and corals across a 10,000-kilometer biodiversity gradient. Numerical abundance and resource-use distributions have similar shapes, but they emerge at markedly different scales. These results are consistent with a contro...
متن کاملPlant genetics shapes inquiline community structure across spatial scales.
Recent research in community genetics has examined the effects of intraspecific genetic variation on species diversity in local communities. However, communities can be structured by a combination of both local and regional processes and to date, few community genetics studies have examined whether the effects of instraspecific genetic variation are consistent across levels of diversity. In thi...
